This is going to suck, but I’ll sell it if it kills me. I’ll pretend that I’m fine, that it doesn’t hurt every time he looks my way.
“It’s a big house,” I manage. “Stay out of my Rice Krispies and we’ll be fine. We don’t have to mean anything to each other.”
I know before I finish the words that it’s a lie. Between my audition, Carly’s threat and Tyler’s anger, the chance at peace and quiet I’ve been hoping for blew up in my face.
The rest of junior year is going to be hell.
I count my heartbeats, waiting for Tyler to pull back and give me room to breathe.
He doesn’t.
He leans in, his mouth brushing my ear and sending shivers down my traitorous spine, a longing that settles between my trembling thighs under my skirt.
And before he turns to leave, he utters a single sentence that leaves my soul aching.
“You have no idea how many times I’ve fucking wished you meant nothing.”

Acknowledgments
First, thank YOU for picking up this book. I love that you trust me to entertain you.
This little prequel happened because I felt like there was more of Tyler and Annie’s story that wouldn’t fit in the trilogy. So…this slice of yummy is my gift to you.
It wouldn’t have happened without the support of my awesome advance readers. Extra shoutout to Beth and Tammy for doing an early read!
Lori Jackson, Regina Wamba, and Kelley Hawthorne Jefferson, thank you for the perfect cover.
Becca Mysoor, thank you for your on-point advice. Cassie Robertson and Devon Burke, thank you for questioning, polishing, and catching all the little things.
Thank you Dani Sanchez for getting the word out about my stories. And Annette Brignac and Michelle Clay… I would not be able to get these books to the people who matter most without your help.
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. The best part of author life is having YOU in it.
xoxo
Piper
