Keeping more secrets than a teenage girl's diary, I hid a lot behind my bubbly personality. I was a college student and an intern. Loyal friend and loving daughter. Fangirl and girly girl. Lover of strong coffee and even stronger margaritas. Former bartender and new… Well, let’s just say I was suddenly in need of pasties and a giant vat of body glitter.

To make my life more complicated, I also had a massive crush.

Quick with a smile and joke, people assumed Kase Teo was all ego with a slacker follow-through. But lurking behind his hauntingly beautiful blue eyes was an ocean. Knowledge, quick wit, experience, pain… There were depths to Kase that most didn’t see.

But I saw him.

And after he came into Wicked to visit my new boss, Kase saw me, too. Alllll of me.

Awkward.

Except my crush wasn't as one-sided as I'd believed. No longer holding back, Kase was determined to make me his. To stop me from holding back. To break down my walls.

He wanted to prove that life could be more than just a Best Kase Scenario.
