Breaking Defenses by J.B. Salsbury

I never should’ve loaned him my lucky pencil.
Like every female in high school I was captivated when he spoke to me. I had no idea that moment would cause irrevocable damage.
Over two years later I’m face to face with Carey Slade again. This time I won’t get caught up in his good looks and oozing charm. I work three jobs and get straight A’s. I can’t afford to get distracted. Not again.
Rowan and I have history. History I plan to take to the grave.
My football career depends on me passing a class and Rowan is assigned as my tutor. I never thought I’d see her again after high school. She’s different from the girl I remember—confident, smokin’ hot, funny as hell.
I’m the man responsible for ruining her life.
If I have my way, she’ll never find out.
