The Peer and the Puppet (When Rivals Play, #1)

by B.B. Reid

“Your mother tells me you’ve never learned to swim. I’m sure Ever can teach you if you’re up for it.” “I’m sorry…” I couldn’t decide who to focus on as I recited the name in my head. At last, I forced myself to ask the burning question. “Who’s Ever?” Thomas and Rosalyn had some silent conversation that ended with her biting her lip and Thomas letting out an aggravated sigh. “He’s my son.”

Of course, he is. Can this be more derived?

It was another minute before he began to pull away from the shoulder and another when his curse had my eyes popping open in time to see a white Lamborghini Aventador flying past. Officer Trip cursed again before speeding after the car. He quickly activated the loudspeaker when he managed to catch up. “This is your only warning. Slow down!” My heart beat faster as the driver seemed to ignore the cop’s orders and sped down the unlit road. Just as Officer Trip was ready to turn on the siren, the brake lights flashed. The irritated officer muttered to himself as he followed behind the car until it turned off in another direction. “I’m going to offer more unsolicited advice, although it might not be worth much considering the person you’re living with.” “And that is?” “Stay away from Vaughn Rees. Ever too…if you can manage.” I met Officer Trip’s gaze in the rearview mirror. “You don’t have to worry about that.”

Seriously? A teenager drives a Lam?
