Release Blitz: Before Hadley by J. Nathan
Title: Before Hadley
Author: J. Nathan
Genre: New Adult Romance
Release Date: March 14, 2016
What's worse than a cocky new guy at
school? A cocky new guy with a killer body and the attention of the
entire female student body. Hadley can tell the minute she lays eyes
on Caynan that he's someone to avoid. He may have looks and charm,
but he's also got heartbreak written all over his pretty face.
Unfortunately for Hadley, Caynan has
his sights set on her. She's the one girl who doesn't want him. The
one girl who's turned off by his charm. The one girl who challenges
him like no other. And, though she couldn't possibly know the truth
about him, she seems to be the one girl who really sees him.
But with Caynan, things aren't at all
what they seem. His secrets have secrets and everything out of his
mouth straddles the line between truth and fiction. He knows better
than to get involved with anyone, especially with his time limited in
the new town, but he just can't seem to get Hadley out of his mind.
Too bad for him, secrets never remain secrets for long.
Caynan and I stepped outside into the
unseasonably cool night, walking through the parking lot in silence.
I pressed my key to disarm the alarm. My car beeped, its lights
flashing and briefly lighting up the dark lot. I stepped up to my
door and turned to face him. “Thanks again.”
“Stop thanking me.” His tone was
cold and clipped as he handed me my backpack.
“Sorry. I just meant—”
He stepped into me, forcing my back
against the door. He grabbed my cheeks between his hands and stared
down at me. “I want to kiss you so fucking bad right now.”
My heart slammed against my chest as my
voice came out a mere whisper. “Then do it.”
His eyes didn’t waver from mine.
“This isn’t a date. I said I wouldn’t kiss you if it wasn’t a
date.”
I dropped my backpack to my feet, the
thud carrying through the silent lot. “I don’t care.”
He closed his eyes and dropped his
forehead to mine. “Part of me wants to prolong this. Make you crazy
for me.” His eyes opened and he looked me dead in the eyes. “But
the other part wants to taste what I’ve been thinking about doing
since the moment I met you.”
I couldn’t stop my hands from
drifting up the front of his shirt, over the solid muscles in his abs
and chest. I’d never felt anything so freaking amazing in my life.
He didn’t seem to mind my exploration
because he groaned deep in his throat. His breath, a mixture of soda
and mint, floated between us. “Go out with me,” he said.
“I’m out with you right now.”
“A date. Then you better believe I’ll
kiss you at the end of the night.”
“Maybe I don’t want to wait until
the end of the night,” I challenged. What the hell was I saying? It
was as if I was in a trance. A Caynan-induced trance. And my words
were not my own. My body was not my own. My thoughts were not my own.
His lips twitched. “Is that a yes?”
I paused, trying to maintain every last
shred of dignity I possessed. But I knew with every fiber of my being
that Caynan Abbott would ruin me for all others. And when he finally
kissed me, not only would it be explosive, but it would be something
no one else would ever live up to.
I was so screwed.
