Stolen Summer

Endless parties, hot guys, long, warm nights, and an infinite supply of bubble tea. That’s how I want to spend my summer.

The sad reality is that I’ll be stuck inside working two jobs while watching all the rich summer kids party their butts off. They’re wild, lewd, and entitled, but if I smile, look pretty, and show them a bit of skin, I’ll at least get a decent tip. Better than the locals, who only whisper about me behind my back.

I’m sick of the pity glances, the pathetic handouts, the prattling murmurs, and the sad smiles as I walk by.

I want to run away from it all.

The empty monstrosity of a house next door isn’t what I had in mind, but it's the closest thing when you can’t afford to go anywhere. Breaking and entering isn’t a new bullet point on my rap sheet, but…it’s the first time I’ve ever gotten caught.

And by one of the owner’s sons, nonetheless.

Cole Riley.

Although our paths have never crossed, his reputation precedes him as does the reputation of his two brothers. And somehow, I find myself entangled in a bargain that has me at his mercy until summer ends.
