Sweet Like Poison: A College Romance

You need a keeper, Elsa.

The first time I laid eyes on the delicious mountain of a man, Lachlan "Lock" Kelly, he walked out of the room without giving me a single glance.

You're in trouble now.

It's 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 doesn't know my name, and he barely acknowledges my existence.

I don't get it. How can he so easily look away from me when he's all I see?

The ice queen is melting...

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.

You're arsenic-laced candy

Lachlan tells me I'm bad for him, but he can't resist the pull between us anymore.

I don't break things.

I know he's not staying.

When he goes, he'll leave me tangled up in memories.

I won't play games.

His promises have a time limit, even though I'm beginning to wish they didn't.

Even if it hurts...

We were over before we ever began.
