There are good guys. There are bad guys. Then there's me. Moving to a new school sucks. I don't care about being cool and I have no filter - not exactly a recipe for success. Thankfully, the "geeks" welcome me in with open arms, including Zoe. For the first time in my life, I have a female friend, and I kinda like how this feels. I've always been the girl who had to fight to keep going. My friends have always been guys, and the dorky kind. I've simply never known anything else, so when Zoe needs my help, I'm all in. I'm not afraid of picking a fight - or breaking a few rules. After all, bullies get to do it all the time. And this jerk is taking his abuse to a whole new level. Worse, no one seems to care - except us. One rag-tag group of "losers" who have just the right set of skills. But who knew that spending so much time with these guys might make me look at them in a different light? Zoe, that's who. But it doesn't matter if I like them, does it? We have a job to do. Zoe is depending on me, and that's a hell of a lot more important than some feelings I don't know how to deal with anyway. What really matters is that my first female friend deserves a little revenge. I'll throw everything away - even my own future - for the girl who has become my ride or die bestie. So, I'm going to make sure she gets her vengeance. And she's going to make sure I fall in love. Auryn Hadley is an American girl who swelters in the summers with her husband, three dogs, and the neighborhood cats. Her coffee addiction is impressive and allows her to keep writing the next book. Her husband keeps telling her it's great, even though he doesn't like to read, so she ignores him.With a degree in biology, a few decades in gaming, and a love for all things out of this world, she writes across genres looking for the story that is begging to be told. From love to loss, hopes and dreams, there's always an escape waiting inside the pages of her books. She tries to capture the idealism of New Adult literature while addressing more adult topics because life doesn't get any less exciting when you grow up. As you would expect, Kitty Cox has a love of cats, but also dogs, horses, and pretty much any animal. She's always enjoyed a good love story. A chance meeting involving a martini, a margarita, and some laughs with another author convinced her to finally put words to paper - and now she can't seem to stop.From the sweet and tender idea of second chance romances, to the hot and dirty thrill of stories intended for adult audiences, the wonders of falling in love are where her imagination goes. She likes to blame it on the hot and spicy climate of her home town in Texas. Then again, it could just be a result of growing up on stolen romance novels hidden under her pillow at night.
