Fight or Flight by Cameron Hart

**“Tell me to stop, Piper” I pant, still recovering for our last kiss.
“Don’t stop, don’t ever stop, Mason,” she moans.**

Piper:
My older brother escaped the misery that was Tank, our step-dad. He left me behind but promised to come back for me if things got worse. Nine years later, and I still haven’t heard from him. Well, things got worse. So much worse. I tracked him down and slept outside of his shop, hoping he’ll take pity on me and give me a place to stay while I get back on my feet. Instead of finding my brother, I run into his best friend. Mason Peters. First crush, first heartbreak, even though I’m pretty sure he hardly knew I existed. There’s no denying he’s as hot as ever, but he has a way of pushing all of my buttons. He makes me so mad, which somehow turns me on at the same time. Too bad I’m trash and I’ll always be trash. There’s no way he’d ever fall for me, right?

Mason:
Piper Jones. I’d recognize those silver eyes anywhere. She’s my best friend’s little sister and the only one who ever woke up a protective instinct in me. When I got her brother out of an abusive situation with their step-dad, I couldn’t help but feel bad when we left her behind. But, we were selfish teenagers at the time and didn’t know any better. Nine years later, and she shows up at the shop I own with her brother. She sure grew up with curves in all the right places, black hair I want to run my fingers through, and a temper that makes me want to kiss the fight right out of her. I also have the urge to hold her, protect her, and make her mine. Too bad she’s totally off limits. Nothing can happen between us, right?
