Sometimes life leaves a mark…
Most days, Andrea doesn’t know whether she wants to kiss Tanner or punch him in the gut. He is seriously hot, with legit bedroom eyes and that firefighter body of his, but he’s a major player, and they can’t get along for more than a handful of minutes. Until now.
Tanner knows he and Andrea have had an epic love/hate relationship for as long as he can remember, but he wants more love than hate from her. He wants her. Now. Tomorrow. But the more he gets to know her, the more it becomes obvious that Andrea has a problem. She’s teetering on the edge and every time he tries to catch her, she slips through his fingers.
Andrea’s life is spiraling out of control, and it doesn’t matter that Tanner wants to save her, because when everything falls apart and she’s speeding toward rock bottom, only she can save herself.
Sometimes life makes you work for that happily ever after…
Praise for SCORCHED:
“Armentrout’s latest new adult offering tackles substance abuse and mental illness — and, thankfully, the love of a good man is not going to be what heals this heroine.” – RT Book Reviews
Andrea
“You’ve been avoiding me all day.”
“Have not.”
He cocked his head to the side and
raised both brows. “You practically hid in your room or attached yourself to
Syd all day.”
“I was…I was spending girl-time
with her,” I said. “And napping.”
“Andrea…”
He’d been right. I had avoided him. Apparently, I wasn’t
doing that great of a job of it.
“The same with last night. You
barely talked to me.”
“What?” Dumbfounded, I felt like
screaming that word. “I barely talked
to you? You ignored me.”
He stared at me. “Andy, I—“
“This is stupid. This whole thing
is stupid.” I lifted the bottle.
A moment passed and he asked, “Do
you really think you need another beer?”
Annoyed, I slowly brought the
bottle to my mouth and took a long drink. “Does that answer your question?”
The hue of his blue eyes deepened.
“Look, I’m not trying to be a dick—“
“You might want to try harder.
Just sayin’ Might just be my opinion, but thought I’d share.”
He opened his mouth and then
snapped it shut. Several seconds passed. “You know, I didn’t’ say that shit to
you to piss you off.”
I wanted to point out everything
he’d done to piss me off, but…but shit on a brick. Anything that I told him
would betray how I felt about him, and well, I was already embarrassing myself
enough without going there. “You breathed,” I decided, nodding, and totally
proud of myself. “How about that?”
Shaking his head, he rested his
elbows on the island. “You can usually do better than that.”
“It’s not worth my time to do
better.” I flounced past him. Well, I might have staggered past him, but in my
head, I flounced like a Grade A Uppity Chick, and it was awesome.
“I wish you wouldn’t drink so
much.”
My feet stopped. Dammit. My feet
had a mind of their own, and they had stopped because he’d said that so
quietly, not with an ounce of derision or scorn. Actually, it sounded like a
plea. The alcohol churned in my stomach. All I could see was his look of pity.
“Why do you drink like this?” he
asked.
To relax. To not act like a freak. To forget. To remember. To be funny.
To have people like me. To not care if they do or don’t. To have fun. To just
not care. A burning sensation rolled down my back as my head continued to
shout out the answers. I just didn’t want to care.
I didn’t say any of that. “You drink.”
“I do. And sometimes I drink and I
get drunk, but not every time.”
Slowly, I faced him. He wasn’t
looking at me. His eyes were on the island. “I don’t get drunk every time.”
He shook his head again. “Andrea,
you either get plastered or damn near close. Every time.”
“That’s not…” I trailed off, and
yeah, even I could see where he was right. I could probably count on one hand
how many times I’d only had two beers or two shots and then stopped. Come to
think of it, I wasn’t sure if I ever
had.
“My dad got shitfaced all the
time,” he continued. “Never thought that I’d be interested in a girl who was
the same way.”
My brain registered two things at
once. He was interested in me, which wasn’t a big duh. I mean, he’d had his
hands in my pants more than once, so yeah, I should’ve known that. But he
compared me to his dad, a man I’d recently discovered he pretty much loathed,
which pretty much canceled out the first part. Hurt invaded every cell and
festered under the skin. The back of my throat burned and I wanted to rush
away.
But I didn’t. “That kind of makes
you twisted.”
Another weak laugh came out of
him. “I guess it kind of does.”
And don’t miss the first standalone book in the series…
