Kindle Notes & Highlights
Pippa Hartley is standing in my living room, playing with the dog, and I can’t breathe. When I opened the door, I thought I was hallucinating.
OF COURSE HE RECOGNIZES HER
Her hair is longer. Same shy smile, same sparkling blue-gray eyes that make me forget my own name.
HES MORE DOWNBAD THAN HER??
She was supposed to leave before I got home.
gosh dont u love forced proximity
Oh, fuck. My heart sinks. I hate this feeling. I hate her feeling like this, and I especially hate knowing that I did that.
SAY SOMETHING THEN DUMBASS
“Move in with me.”
YES (ryan shays long lost brother)
The blond guy smiles even wider at me. For a hockey player, he has surprisingly nice teeth. “I’m Hayden Owens.”
i already like hayden
She tilts her head, studying me. “Are you from Vancouver?” “North Vancouver,” I say without thinking.
we are COOKED.
He has big hands.

“You knew going to Hazel’s class would help her.” He shrugs, but the corner of his mouth lifts. My heart swells.
HES A SOFTIE
His throat works as he swallows, still holding my gaze. “You want to make it up to me?”
yes.
Rage surges through my veins. I’ll kill them. “Who?”
whoa settle down this isnt a mafia book
Alexei Volkov,

Footsteps make my eyes open. Jamie stalks toward me with a furious look on his face. “Wha—” I start. His eyes flash with heat. “That was fucking amazing.” His hand comes to the back of my neck and he drags my mouth to his.
I BEG UR FINEST PARDON?
Jamie Streicher is so fucking hot.
were on the same page
I crook a grin at him, and as he looks up at me, something hot and smug flashes through his weird mood tonight. “I’m very good with my fingers.”
ITS THE GUITAR FINGERS LAD (patrick ily)
His hand returns to my lower back. “I’m her boyfriend.”
oh my goodness
Zach’s in my face, wrapping me in a hug. His scent is in my nose, and my heart lodges in my throat. My skin crawls as he embraces me and our ears brush. A repulsed shiver rolls down my back. This is nothing like when I touch Jamie. It’s cold and stiff, and the second Zach lets me go, I back away—straight into Jamie.
back the fuck up rn
My mouth curves into a smile, and I don’t even recognize myself right now. “The ultimate revenge would be fucking you.”
OH WHO IS SHEEE
“We’ve got an early morning and I’m not done with this one tonight.” My tone is suggestive, and her eyes flare with surprise and heat. “Right, baby?”
BABY
“Holy shit,” Owens says down the table, pointing at me. “He smiles.”
ILY HAYDEN
Ride it out, baby.”
OH MY FREAKING GOD JOHNNY KAVANAGH JOEY LYNCH???
This has been the most awkward dinner ever.

“There’s something else,” I tell him, pulling out my phone again. My hands are shaking. I’ve never done something like this.
IM SCARED. it better be the album and not smth else
Something risky and bold thrills through me, and I start playing the song.

I’ll sit between your legs while you make me shake against you. Make my body feel new things, we both want to.

Across the booth, Rory’s grinning down at Hazel, who’s staring at him like he’s a cockroach that just crawled onto the table.

In the mornings, Jamie Streicher is warm, sleepy, and sexy as hell.

“Ride my hand, songbird. Ride it out.”
JOHNNY JOEY
but Miller wedges his stick between Owens’ legs.

All the anger I’ve held inside for years at the guy who used to be my best friend bubbles to the surface, overflowing, and I rip my gloves off.
they need each other deep down
You look even hotter with the black eye.”
VALID
“There’s only one bed.”

“The massage therapist will be here any minute.” Oh. I didn’t realize he had booked himself a massage. A hesitant feeling flares. “A woman?” His snort is derisive, like it’s obvious. “Yes.”
no its for YOU
“Wowza, Hartley,” Hayden says as soon as we enter. He’s in a tux like Jamie, wearing his own black eye. “Babe alert.”

Zach looks at me like my value has gone up.

“She’s not you.”

“Wait.” Her hand stills. “What is it?”

“I’m calling from the emergency room at Lions Gate Hospital,” she continues.
NO.
“Hi, baby.” Jamie drops a kiss onto my lips, and I smile.

“Pippa, if you could just stay right there a moment.”
WE ALL KNOW WHATS ABT TO HAPPEN.

Her movements are swift as she shoves her phone into her back pocket. “Rory Miller.” At her side, her fingertips brush in fast circles. Her nervous tell. The season is about to get interesting.
