Synopsis:
Serena
has learned to live with her past, locking her secrets and nightmares
deep inside her. But when her boyfriend of six years abruptly leaves
her, she’s catapulted back into pain, nursing a broken heart. When
indulging in mountains of chocolate doesn’t work, Serena
decides the best way to deal with her shattered heart is to indulge in
something else. A rebound . . .
The night she swaps her usual Sprite for tequila, she meets James. The encounter is breathtaking.
Electrifying.
And best not repeated.
James is a successful entrepreneur in Silicon Valley. A man who has amassed a fortune by taking risks. A man who has shunned commitment completely, and still does. He’s the exact opposite of Serena. But sometimes opposites attract. Sometimes they give in to burning passion. Sometimes opposites are perfect for each other.
James is everything her damaged soul could want. His kisses are intoxicating, his touch out of this world. He makes her forget. He grants her peace from her pain. But as they grow closer, Serena discovers she isn’t the only one with a past. James carries the scars of a past much darker than hers. One that has left him damaged, hurt, and wary of love. A past that gives him the power to shatter her.
Now James and Serena must find a way to mend one another. Or risk losing each other forever.

Excerpt:
There
are three reasons tequila is my new favorite drink.
One: my ex-boyfriend
hates it.
Two: downing a shot
looks way sexier than sipping my usual Sprite.
Three: it might give
me the courage to do something my ex-boyfriend would hate even more
than tequila—getting myself a rebound.
"You need
someone hot, hot, hot," my best friend Jess says, plunking her
glass on the sleek counter and beckoning the bartender to prepare
another round.
I grimace as the
last drops of liquor burn my throat. "Define hot."
"Tall, tan,
six-pack." She spins on her bar stool, turning toward the
buzzing room.
"Every polo
player at Stanford fits that description," I say.
"Precisely."
She bursts into a
torrent of giggles that makes me wonder if I shouldn't
accidentally-on-purpose knock over the fresh round of shots the
bartender sets in front of me, or my big night might just end up with
me carrying an incoherent Jess to our apartment, as usual.
"Stanford's
entire team is here. Have your pick, Serena."
I twirl around,
facing a sea of people. Of course the entire team is here. Almost
every Stanford student is here tonight. Who would miss the first bash
of the summer term? For Jess and me, it's the last first bash ever,
since we are graduating in a few months. I push my chest forward, the
way Jess does it, fully aware that I won’t have nearly the same
effect she has. My black tank top, which she insisted I wear, doesn't
do me justice, revealing far too much of my barely-there cleavage,
despite the definitely-there Victoria’s Secret push-up bra.
