And they''ll learn just how much more there is to the intense sexual chemistry they share, and whether love can carry them well past the danger of her past and into a new future, after this night...

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Blakely comes a steamy romance that follows Kennedy as she falls for Noah . . . even though she shouldn''t. When I first met him I resisted. Like any forbidden love, I told myself he was a crush, and it would pass. That was a lie. It never faded. And I never expected he would fall for me just as hard. There were so many reasons that should have kept us apart, least of all, the decade that separated us. Growing up in New York City, I learned early on that love is a double-edged sword. Love broke up my parents, love took away my friends, and love -- the big, intense, never-been-like-this-before love -- landed me in therapy. Now I''m heading to college, and it''s time to give love a clean slate again. But, can I really start over when he''s still in my life? Because the one man I''ve always wanted, and also the only guy I absolutely can''t haveâEuroÝ And he wants me just as fiercely. Can I settle for anything less than the love of my life? Reviews: "21 Stolen Kisses captured my heart from the first page and didn''t let go. It made my heart ache, leap from joy, and ultimately root for a love that''s forbidden yet unstoppable." - NYT Bestselling Author Claire Contreras "21 Stolen Kisses was a truly beautiful and genuine love story. This is romantic as it gets, people. Lauren Blakely brought it, and she brought it hard. Nothing will make you believe in true love more than this story right here." - Shayna Renee''s Spicy Reads.
