BLURB (OPIS)
We were supposed to be best friends
But turned out to be worst enemies…
Penn
They say revenge is a dish best served cold.
I’d had four years to stew on what Daria Followhill did to me, and now my heart is completely iced.
I took her first kiss.
She took the only thing I loved.
I was poor.
She was rich.
The good thing about circumstances? They can change. Fast.
Now, I’m her parents’ latest shiny project.
Her housemate. Her tormentor. The captain of the rival football team she hates so much.
Yeah, baby girl, say it—I’m your foster brother.
There’s a price to pay for ruining the only good thing in my life, and she’s about to shell out some serious tears.
Daria Followhill thinks she is THE queen. I’m about to prove to her that she’s nothing but a spoiled princess.
Daria
Everyone loves a good-old, unapologetic punk.
But being a bitch? Oh, you get slammed for every snarky comment, cynical eye roll, and foot you put in your adversaries’ way.
The thing about stiletto heels is that they make a hell of a dent when you walk all over the people who try to hurt you.
In Penn Scully’s case, I pierced his heart until he bled out, then left it in a trash can on a bright summer day.
Four years ago, he asked me to save all of my firsts for him.
Now he lives across the hall, and there’s nothing I want more than to be his last everything.
His parting words when he gave me his heart were that nothing in this world is free.
Now? Now he is making me pay.
Midva naj bi bila najboljša prijatelja
Izkazalo pa se je, da sva najhujša sovražnika...
Penn
Pravijo, da je maščevanje jed, ki se najbolje servira hladna.
Štiri leta sem razmišljal o tem, kar mi je Daria Followhill storila, zdaj pa je moje srce popolnoma zamrznjeno.
Ukradel sem ji poljub.
Ona je meni ukradla edino stvar, ki sem jo ljubil.
Bil sem reven.
Ona je bila bogata.
Dobra stvar teh okoliščin? Lahko se spremenijo. Hitro.
Zdaj sem zadnji bleščeč projekt njenih staršev.
Njen sostanovalec. Njen mučitelj. Kapetan tekmovalne nogometne ekipe, ki jo tako zelo sovraži.
Punčka kar povej, da sem tvoj rejniški brat.
Vedno pride cena, ki jo moraš plačati, če uničiš edino dobro stvar v mojem življenju in ona bo kmalu spuščala resne solze.
Daria Followhill misli da je KRALJICA. Dokazal ji bom, da je samo razvajena princesa.
Daria
Vsi obožujejo dobro nepopustljivo nemarnico.
Ampak biti psica? Kritiko dobiš za vsak komentar, cinično zavijanje z očmi in stopalo, ki ga postavite na pot svojih nasprotnikov.
Stvar čevljev z visoko peto je, da naredijo pekel, ko pohodiš ljudi, ki te želijo prizadeti.
V primeru Penn Scully sem prebodla njegovo srce, da je izkrvavelo. Potem sem ga pustila v smeteh na svetel poletni dan.
Čez štiri leta me je vprašal, da naj mu prihranim vse moje prve.
Zdaj stanuje na drugi strani hodnika in ničesar si ne želim kot biti njegovo zadnje.
Njegove poslovilne besede, ko mi je dal svoje srce, so bile, da nič na tem svetu ni zastonj.
Zdaj? Zdaj mu moram plačevati.

EXCERPT (ODLOMEK)
“I don’t want you transferring into my school,” I hiss out. Melody would gladly file a transfer request, and Principal Prichard would salivate over the chance to snatch him up for our football team.
“That won’t be a problem. You guys suck so much ass, you have shit-breath.”
“Still smells better than poverty. You’re poor, right? Your sister was just bullshitting about being rich.”
When someone hits me with a stick, I run over them with a tank. I’m so mean to him I want to throw up. I hate this part of being me. The striking harder at all costs part.
“Just to make things clear.” I put the brush down, batting my lashes. “You’re not my step-sibling, foster brother, or a part of the family. You’re a stray dog. Last of the litter, most unlikely to be adopted, and a charity case.”
Penn takes a step toward me, and my heart is fighting its way out of my ribcage. The closer he gets, the more I realize that my heart might succeed. Penn’s eyes remind me of a snake’s. Mesmerizing, but inhuman altogether. They weren’t like that before.
His scent messes with my head. I want to reach out and caress his face. Kiss his wounds better. Beg for forgiveness. Curse him. Push him away. Cry on his shoulder for what we’ve done. For how it ended. For what we became afterwards, because I’m full of crap and he is totally empty.
We ruined ourselves the day of our first kiss.
Penn looks down at me. Time stops. It feels like the world is losing gravity, falling into a bottomless depth in space when he clasps my chin with his thumb and finger, lifting my head up. I can’t breathe. I’m not sure I want to, either. My towel drops to the floor with a thud, even though I secured it over my chest. I realize that he tugged at it intentionally. I’m naked. My body, my soul, my heart. All my walls are down. Somewhere in my head, a red alarm blasts and my inhibitions are getting armed, ready to fight back. I’m trying to decode his expression. He is amused, irritated, and…playful? The mixture of emotions doesn’t make any sense.
“Mess with me, Followhill, and I will ruin you.”
“Not if I ruin you first.”
AUTHOR (AVTOR)
L.J. SHEN is an International #1 best-selling author of Contemporary Romance and New Adult novels. She lives in Northern California with her husband, young son and chubby cat.
Before she’d settled down, L.J. (who thinks referring to herself in the third person is really silly, by the way) traveled the world, and collected friends from all across the globe. Friends who’d be happy to report that she is a rubbish companion, always forgets peoples’ birthdays and never sends Christmas cards.
She enjoys the simple things in life, like spending time with her family and friends, reading, HBO, Netflix and internet-stalking Stephen James. She reads between three to five books a week and firmly believes Crocs shoes and mullets should be outlawed.
L.J. SHEN je pisateljica sodobnih romanc in NA romanov, ki je prodajana po celem svetu. Živi v Severni Karolini s svojim možem, mladim sinom in mačko.
Preden je ustanovila L.J. (čeprav misli, da je pisanje v tretji osebi trapasto) je potovala po svetu in pridobivala prijatelje na vsaki lokaciji. Prijatelji z veseljem povedo, da je slaba spremljevalka, ki vedno pozabi prijateljeve rojstne dneve in nikoli ne pošilja božičnih voščilnic.
Sama uživa v preprostih stvareh kot so preživljanje časa s svojo družino in prijatelji, branje, gledanje HBO in Netflix-a ter internetno zasledovanje Stephena Jamesa. Bere tri do pet knjig tedensko. Verjame, da bi morali čevlje Crocs in frizuro mullets prepovedati.
