Hope
Publication Date: August 14, 2017
Publisher: Entangled Teen Crush
1) Take things slow (her rule)
2) Make it believable (his rule)
After tragedy hit her family, Meg
Matthews officially crossed the line from “good girl” to “bad
girl.” Motorcycle? Check. Graffiti? Check. The only thing Meg
hadn’t planned on was blackmail. Too bad now a certain infuriating
boy holds Meg’s future in his hands…
When Luke Prescott—star
pitcher and town golden boy—catches Meg vandalizing the school,
she’s given two choices: face the consequences or enter into a fake
relationship with him to get his parents and his ex off his back.
But as Meg and Luke grow
closer, they both realize they’ve been keeping secrets from each
other. Their fake relationship might be doomed from the start—if
they can’t learn to open up to the one person they never thought
they’d trust.
Disclaimer: This Entangled Teen
Crush book contains late-night graffiti sessions, flirty baseball
lessons, and a never-ending list of relationship rules just made to
be broken.

***EXCERPT***
I flipped the
notebook shut and wrangled it into my backpack. “I guess we’re
done here.”
“Finally.”
Her smile evaporated again. “I guess I’ll see you later.” She
slid out of the booth, not waiting for a good-bye.
I yanked a few
bills out of my wallet and tossed them on the table to cover the
malts with plenty left for a tip. Grabbing my backpack, I darted out
of the restaurant.
I didn’t need
girls to be falling at my feet. But I wasn’t used to them acting as
if I wasn’t worth their time. Meg’s indifference rattled me. As I
watched her head to her Rebel—as if she couldn’t get away from me
fast enough—I felt the urge to rattle her right back.
“Meg!”
She twisted
around slowly.
I sauntered up to
her until there were only inches between us. To her credit, she
didn’t back down.
“I thought we
were done,” she said. Was it my imagination, or did she sound
slightly breathless?
“Not quite.”
She cleared her
throat and took a step back. I reached for her hands, tangling my
fingers around hers as I reeled her back in. “We forgot to seal the
deal.”
“Seal the
deal?”
“Seal it with a
kiss.” I shrugged. “You’re going to have to kiss me eventually.
Personally, I’d rather have our first time be without an audience.
Wouldn’t you?”
She winced,
clearly knowing that I was right.
“I guess it
would be best to get the awkwardness out of the way,” she grumbled.
I decided not to
focus on the fact that she sounded less than thrilled. Instead, I
took it as a good sign that she didn’t elbow me in the gut and
storm away.
I moved in
slowly, not convinced she wouldn’t bolt. Her eyes fluttered closed.
Her hands slid up my arms, clutching at my biceps. When her lips met
mine I swear something ignited between us. My hands gripped her waist
and as the kiss lingered, the tension melted away.
She had acted so
cold toward me, the last thing I expected was for the kiss to be so
hot.
