Temporary High

The side of his mouth quirked up as he studied me. "I think I might be fallin' in love."

I picked up his keys off the bedside table and tossed them to him. "That makes one of us."

He clutched at his heart in mock pain. Then his perfect red lips formed the word, "Liar."    

Seventeen year-old Kat Chandler has been called worse, but she’s worked hard to make amends for past mistakes and gain control of her life. So she isn’t about to be thrown off her game by some Harley-driving bad boy who’s just moved to town. Luca is mysterious. Aloof. Frustrating. Kat can’t stand him; she can’t seem to stay away from him either.

But she's forced to reassess the company she keeps when she finds herself being blackmailed by her mom’s con artist ex-boyfriend. Fresh out of prison, Cross has reappeared to collect a debt--Kat’s debt. His demand? Three grand in three weeks or else his stay won’t be temporary. He even offers a suggestion on how to get the cash--and it involves Luca.

Desperate to keep Cross out of her life and the people she cares about safe, Kat devises a plan that will cost her more than just money. She will have to give up control, her hard-won integrity, and possibly the only guy she’s ever fallen for.
