Maggie Carpenter is ready for a change–and to leave her ordinary life in South Carolina behind. But when she accepts a scholarship to the International School in London, a university attended by the privileged offspring of diplomats and world leaders, Maggie might get more than she bargained for. Because when college parties are hosted at exclusive nightclubs, ordinary is no longer a concern.

When Maggie meets Hugh, a twenty–something British guy, she finds herself living the life she always wanted.  Suddenly she's riding around the city in a Ferrari, wearing borrowed designer clothes and going to the hottest clubs.  The only problem? Another guy, the one she can't seem to keep her hands off of.

Half–French, half–Lebanese, and ridiculously wealthy, Samir Khouri has made it clear he doesn't do relationships.  He's the opposite of everything Maggie thought she wanted…and he's everything she can't resist.  Torn between her dream guy and the boy haunting her dreams, Maggie has to fight for her own happy ending.  In a city like London, you never know where you stand, and everything can change with the blink of an eye.
 
This is a New Adult romance recommended for readers 17 and up.

We weren't a relationship, we were a ticking time bomb... 

Maggie Carpenter walked away from the hottest encounter of her life when she left the seductive glitz of England for summer break in her South Carolina hometown. Now that she's returned to the International School in London–and sexy, privileged Samir Khouri is once again close enough to touch–she can't help but remember the attraction, the drama … the heartbreak.

She can't help but want him even more.

Samir can't afford to fall for someone so far removed from his world, not when his time in London is running out. It's his senior year–his last chance at freedom before he returns home to Lebanon. There, he'll be expected to follow in his father's footsteps–not follow his heart to Maggie. But when a scorching secret hookup becomes a temptation neither can resist, they'll both have to fight to survive the consequences … and find a future together.
