Description:
Dakota Dane is about to tell
a lie she’ll wish she hadn’t. Because
her lie is dangerous, sexy, and just showed up on campus, angry as hell and
looking for her...
Ugly duckling Dakota Dane
has a new boyfriend. He’s male-model gorgeous, built to perfection, wealthy,
and smart. He is also a lie. As in, 100% fabricated. Does it matter that Dakota
has a perfectly good reason for making him up? Not really. Not when Dakota’s
made-up boyfriend shows up on campus in the flesh.
So is she crazy? All signs
point to maybe. But the walking, talking enigma with the deadly vibe isn’t
about to give her any answers or let her out of his sight. And with college
just around the corner, Dakota fears her dreams of a bright future have just
collided with a dark rabbit hole…

Excerpt:
Lord. Whoever had been on the
other end of that phone was coming to my room. I had to get out of there.
Because as much as I loved believing in miracles, those didn’t exist, which
meant this guy was some psychopathic stalker, some frigging lunatic who’d
convinced everyone he was my boyfriend.
I slipped from the covers and
immediately had to brace myself on the edge of the hospital bed. My head pulsed
with painful, dizzying jabs. I slowly stood upright and willed myself steady.
My ribs and hip were sore, but I’d survive. That was, if I got the heck out
there.
I blew out a breath and wobbled
to the clear plastic bag hanging on the wall with my belongings. I had to find
my mother. I had to warn her. What if this guy showed up and tried something?
I slipped on my jeans,
sweatshirt, and sneakers, not bothering with the other stuff. I grabbed my
phone and purse and tiptoed to the door.
I poked my head out, hoping to
spot my mother doing rounds, but instead I saw—
The breath whooshed from my
lungs. Santiago ?
Cue slow motion and avalanche of
conflicting, irrational thoughts accompanied by an imminent panic attack.
My stomach and heart squeezed
into a brick and then dropped through the center of my body.
Lord, help me.
Because the man I’d
invented—correction—the gorgeous man
I’d stolen a picture of, stood twenty feet away, speaking to my mother, wearing
low-slung faded jeans and a fitted white, button-down shirt.
I stared in wonderment while my
eyes infused with his image and branded itself on my brain. He was lust, rock
star, tough guy, jock, Prince Charming, and misfit rolled into one dangerous,
rugged, well-groomed package. He sent my female brain into a tailspin.
I’ve lost my mind. That gorgeous man is not standing there. That’s not
possible!
I willed my heavy feet to move,
but my eyes remained glued to him. He was tall—around six three or six
four—and, just like in his photo, built like a lean, mean predatory animal with
broad shoulders and powerful-looking…everything. Especially those arms. And
those legs. And those…yep. Everything.
To boot, he stood with the sort of confidence that gave me the distinct
impression he really might be deadly. And ate his meat raw. Possibly still
squealing.
What? He hugged my mother? What was happening? Did she know him?
Was the universe punishing me for lying? If it was, it was totally working. I’d
never, ever lie again.
About the Author:
Before taking up a permanent residence in the San
Francisco Bay Area, New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author Mimi Jean Pamfiloff spent
time living near NYC (became a shopaholic), in Mexico City (developed a taste
for very spicy food), and Arizona (now hates jumping chollas but pines for sherbet
sunsets). Her love of pre-Hispanic culture, big cities, and romance inspires
her to write when she’s not busy with kids, hubby, work, and life…or getting
sucked into a juicy novel. Or hosting the Man Candy Show on Radioslot.com! (Be
very afraid!). She hopes that someday, leather pants for
men will make a big comeback and that her writing might make you laugh (or give
you a mini-vacay) when you need it most.
