R. S. Grey Book order

I was issued a warning: stay away from Ben Rosenberg. As Clifton Cove's resident "king," he thinks he's entitled to anyone and anything.The trouble is, I've spent my whole life following the rules and playing it safe. I know what it feels like to be the good girl. I'm the police chief's daughter and a librarian-for adorable children, no less. My wardrobe consists of colorful sundresses and baggy jeans. I might as well have a Post-it stuck to my forehead that reads: Yup, she's a virgin.An all-nighter with a fictional hunk is about as exciting as my life gets, until one day, fate decides to take pity on me and shove me straight into the path of Mr. Off-Limits himself.Oof.Just as I suspected, every inch of him promises to be my demise. Up close, he's tall, menacing, dangerously handsome-the type of man who's never spent a single moment worrying about the opinions of others. A well-behaved girl would do as she's told and avoid him at all costs, but I'm overdue for a little rebellion. No more Friday nights sprawled out on the couch in my comfiest pajamas. No more wishing I had the courage to misbehave. Everyone thinks Ben is going to ruin me.They think he'll chew me up and spit me out.Well, Ben...go ahead.Tempt me. Taunt me.Make me bad.

"Oh my god. Who is that?" I get asked this question a lot. "Oh him?" I reply. "That's just Ian." Just Ian is the biggest understatement of the century. Just the Mona Lisa. Just the Taj Mahal. Just Ian, wih his boring ol' washboard abs and dime-a-dozen dimpled smile. Just Ian is... just my best friend. We're extremely close, stuck so deep inside a Jim-and-Pam-style friendzone everyone at work assumes we're a couple - that is until one day, word spreads through the teacher's lounge that he's single. Fair game. Suddenly, it's open season on Ian. He should be reveling in all the newfound attention, but to our mutual surprise, the only attention he seems to want is mine. He's turning our formerly innocent nightly chats into X-rated phone calls. Our playful banter sports a new, dangerous edge. I want to assume he's playing a prank on me, just pushing my buttons like always - but when Ian lifts me onto the desk in my classroom and slides his hands up my skirt, he doesn't leave a lot of room for confusion. I'm a little scared of things going south, of losing my best friend because I can't keep my hands to myself. So, I'm just going to back away and not return this earth-shattering kiss - oh who am I kidding! Goodbye Ian, ol' buddy, ol' pal! Helloooo mister not so nice guy

A year ago, I never expected to fall in love, embark on an epic road trip, and experience life-changing adventures until I met Beckham. He taught me to embrace life without boundaries and to seize every moment. Our journey together was a thrilling exploration of young, reckless love with no guarantees. Recommended for ages 17+.
