Il est celui que toutes les femmes désirent. Elle n''a rien à voir avec les autres femmes. Pathétique. Voilà comment Libby qualifierait le grand brun ivre qui s’est échoué sous le porche de sa belle maison de la côte est des États-Unis la nuit dernière. Contrairement à ce qu’elle pensait, réveiller l’intrus avec un jet d’eau glacée n’a pas suffi à l’éloigner puisqu’il a emménagé dans la maison voisine. Et comme si ça ne suffisait pas qu’il trouble ses habitudes de solitaire, Killian s’obstine désormais à essayer de nouer une relation avec elle. Aucune chance que cela arrive : elle ne supporte pas ses manières de rock star décadente et son charme insolent. Le problème ? Killian n’est pas du genre à abandonner facilement.

We worden NIET verliefd Anna Jones wil maar één ding: zo snel mogelijk afstuderen. Verliefd worden op Drew Baylor, de quarterback van het footballteam, is ze absoluut niet van plan.

The first time I met Jax Blackwood things went a little sideways. In my defense, I didn’t know he was Jax Blackwood—who expects a legendary rock star to be shopping for groceries? More importantly, a blizzard was coming and he was about to grab the last carton of mint-chocolate chip. Still, I might have walked away, but then he smugly dared me to try and take the coveted ice cream. So I kissed him. And distracted that mint-chip right out of his hands. Okay, it was a dirty move, but desperate times and all that. Besides, I never expected he’d be my new neighbor. An annoying neighbor who takes great pleasure in reminding me that I owe him ice cream but would happily accept more kisses as payment. An irresistible neighbor who keeps me up while playing guitar naked–spectacularly naked–in his living room. Clearly, avoidance is key. Except nothing about Jax is easy to ignore—not the way he makes me laugh, or that his particular brand of darkness matches mine, or how one look from him melts me faster than butter under a hot sun. Neither of us believes in love or forever. Yet we’re quickly becoming each other’s addiction. But we could be more. We could be everything. All we have to do is trust enough to fall

It started off as a battle of wits. Me: the ordinary girl with a big mouth against Him: the sexy bastard with a big...ego. I thought I’d hit the jackpot when I was upgraded to first class on my flight to London. That is until HE sat next to me. Gabriel Scott: handsome as sin, cold as ice. Nothing and no one gets to him. Ever. He’s a legend in his own right, the manager of the biggest rock band in the world, and an arrogant ass who looks down his nose at me. I thought I’d give him hell for one, long flight.

If I accept his proposal,I leave myself open to falling for the one man I can’t manage. But I’m tempted to say yes. Because the real man beneath those perfect suits and that cool façade just might be the best thing that’s ever happened to me. And I just might be the only one who can melt the ice around his heart. Let the battle begin…
