From the USA TODAY bestselling author of Unteachable and Black Iris comes a sexy, romantic suspense novel about two best friends who are torn apart by a life-shattering accident, and the secrets it left behind. Vada and Ellis's friendship is so intense and consuming, it's hard to tell where one girl ends and the other begins. Yet they couldn't be more different: Ellis is nerdy, shy, and rich; Vada is an ambitious artist struggling to make ends meet. When Vada gets into an elite New England art college, Ellis comes along for the ride. Like always. They can face anything in the world as long as they're together ... Until a horrifying accident tears them apart. Life goes on, and Ellis handles it just fine on her own, but Vada is deeply scarred--emotionally and physically. Her once-promising career as an artist is cut short by her injuries. Broke and severed from doing what she loves, she meets the wrong guy at the right time: Dane, a smooth-talking lothario, who offers her a new career as a cam girl. All Vada has to do is spend a couple hours each night taking off her clothes in front of a webcam, and the tips come pouring in. Things get complicated when a client who calls himself Blue gets possessive. Through the safety of the cam, they open up to each other intimately. Vada finally talks about the accident. Blue helps her heal. And he pays well, but he wants her all to himself. No more cam shows. He's a mystery, and she might be falling for him, so Vada demands something in return: to meet in real life. Blue agrees, on one condition: she has to bring Ellis. The girl who wants nothing to do with her anymore. Now Vada is forced to confront the past she's been running from. A past full of devastating secrets--those of others, and those she's been keeping from herself ...
An edgy, sexy USA TODAY bestseller about falling for the one person you can’t have. Maise O’Malley just turned eighteen, but she’s felt like a grown-up her entire life. The summer before senior year, she has plans: get into a great film school, convince her mom to go into rehab, and absolutely do not, under any circumstances, screw up her own future. But life has a way of throwing her plans into free-fall. When Maise meets Evan at a carnival one night, their chemistry is immediate, intense, and short-lived. Which is exactly how she likes it: no strings. But afterward, she can’t get Evan out of her head. He’s taught her that a hookup can be something more. It can be an unexpected connection with someone who truly understands her. Someone who sees beyond her bravado to the scared but strong girl inside. That someone turns out to be her new film class teacher, Mr. Evan Wilke. Maise and Evan resolve to keep their hands off each other, but the attraction is too much to bear. Together, they’re real and genuine; apart, they’re just actors playing their parts for everyone else. And their masks are slipping. People start to notice. Rumors fly. When the truth comes to light in a shocking way, they may learn they were just playing parts for each other, too. Smart, sexy, and provocative, Unteachable is about what happens when a love story goes off-script.
The next dark and sexy romantic suspense novel from the USA TODAY bestselling author of Unteachable, praised for its “lush, haunting prose, deft storytelling, and scorching sensuality” (M. Pierce, bestselling author of the Night Owl trilogy), and called “one of the best forbidden romances” (Lauren Blakely, New York Times bestselling author). Love is not a thing that we create. It’s an undoing. It only took one moment of weakness for Laney Keating’s world to fall apart. One stupid gesture for a hopeless crush. Then the rumors began. Slut, they called her. Queer. Psycho. Mentally ill, messed up, so messed up even her own mother decided she wasn’t worth sticking around for. If Laney could erase that whole year, she would. College is her chance to start with a clean slate. She’s not looking for new friends, but they find her: charming, handsome Armin, the only guy patient enough to work through her thorny defenses—and fiery, filterless Blythe, the bad girl and partner in crime who has thorns of her own. But Laney knows nothing good ever lasts. When a ghost from her past resurfaces—the bully who broke her down completely—she decides it’s time to live up to her own legend. And Armin and Blythe are going to help. Which was the plan all along. Because the rumors are true. Every single one. And Laney is going to show them just how true. She’s going to show them all.

Troisième opus de Leah Raeder : Intelligente, sexy et provocante, l'histoire d'une passion interdite entre une élève et son jeune professeur. Maise O'Malley vient de fêter ses 18 ans et s'apprête à commencer des études de cinéma. Cette jeune fille au caractère bien trempé, qui prétend n'avoir peur de rien et ment volontiers sur son âge, a toujours eu l'impression d'avoir grandi trop vite. Quand elle rencontre Evan un soir dans une fête foraine, l'attirance est immédiate, intense, et pour elle sans lendemain. Pourtant, dès le jour suivant, Maise ne pense à rien d'autre qu'à lui. Ce trentenaire lui fait découvrir combien l'amour peut être plus qu'une brève rencontre, qu'il peut révéler une complicité inattendue avec un homme qui la comprend réellement. Un homme qui voit derrière ses bravades la petite fille effrayée et courageuse qu'elle est en réalité. Le jour de la rentrée, Maise découvre avec stupeur qu'Evan n'est autre que Mr Wilke, son nouveau professeur de cinéma. Tous deux décident d'interrompre leur liaison, mais leurs sentiments les rattrapent : ils sont incapables de résister à leur attirance mutuelle. Si à l'université et devant les autres, Maise et Evan sont deux acteurs feignant l'indifférence, dès qu'ils partagent des moments ensemble, ils se sentent vivre et être pleinement eux-mêmes. Mais leurs masques sont fragiles et menacent souvent de tomber. Les élèves les observent, les rumeurs courent... Commence alors un jeu dangereux dont il leur sera difficile de sortir indemnes. uatrième de couverture Maise O'Malley vient de fêter ses 18 ans et s'apprête à commencer des études de cinéma.
