You need a keeper, Elsa.
The first time I laid eyes on the delicious mountain of a man, Lachlan āLockā Kelly, he walked out of the room without giving me a single glance.
Youāre in trouble now.
Itās my junior year at Savage U and life is grand. Except for the fact that Lachlan Kelly lives right next door, he acts like he doesnāt know my name, and he barely acknowledges my existence.
I donāt get it. How can he so easily look away from me when heās all I see?
The ice queen is meltingā¦
A few angry frat boys and their arm candy make it their mission to ruin my semester and possibly my life. But I show those boys that messing with Elena Sanderson is a fatal mistake, and Lachlan surprisingly backs me up.
And when he finally gives me his attention, I greedily soak up everything he has to offer.
Youāre arsenic-laced candy
Lachlan tells me Iām bad for him, but he canāt resist the pull between us anymore.
I donāt break things.
I know heās not staying.
When he goes, heāll leave me tangled up in memories.
I wonāt play games.
His promises have a time limit, even though Iām beginning to wish they didnāt.
Even if it hurtsā¦
We were over before we ever began.
