Bitter. Broken. Explosive.
He should’ve known he was in trouble the moment he heard that sweet laugh. Normally, something that sweet would’ve annoyed his bitter ass. Instead, he was drawn to it—to her—like he hadn’t been drawn to anything in too long.
He should’ve run the moment he found out she was just eighteen. Normally, he steered clear of girls that young and their drama. Instead, he succumbed to the unrelenting draw.
He should’ve been relieved when she admitted she was in no way ready for anything exclusive and serious. Normally, he’d be all for that. Instead, the thought of her not being exclusively hisinfuriated him.
Except nothing was normal about how alarmingly fast she’d brought him to his knees. In all his twenty-five years, not a single girl had ever done that.
Not Even Close.
But she’s still just eighteen and she still isn’t exclusively his. With his past making him so cynical it’s not a matter of if he’ll eventually blow but how badly.
NOT EVEN CLOSE is a New Generation series featuring the offspring of couples from my previous series. Preorder uploaded today! 3-14-21 Release date March 23d!

Features Xochitl and Alex aka Lex Moreno (Major alpha)
They say opposites attract, but what happens when two equally surly and short-fused individuals, already laced with past sexual tension, are forced to coexist in a matter that’s Way Too Close for comfort?
When the self-proclaimed misanthropist and overachiever Xochitl meets her dormmate’s younger brother, there’s no way she’s falling prey to the smooth-talking little flirt. Her grumpy ass has been warned enough about his player ways to know better, and she ain’t having it.
But after being witness to his butterfly-inducing sweet side, she lets her guard down and is completely sucked in—only to be mortified when she finds out he’s exactly what she was warned about and vows never to fall for his game again.
Alex “Lex” Moreno is not used to indifference from girls. So, when he meets his sister’s aloof dormmate, who seems almost annoyed by his attempts to charm her, his interest is piqued like never before. Just when he thinks he’s turned it around and manages to gain her trust, life throws a wrench in his plans and ruins everything.
When he finally gets a chance to prove he’s not who she thinks he is, he’s determined to get it right. Despite his short fuse, they get past a few near blowups. But nothing prepares them for the ultimate betrayal neither would’ve ever imagined.

Vannah,
Bitter for too long, I truly believed it’s what the rest of my life would be like. Then one day when I least expected it, and from across a crowded room, I was indulged with your sweet laughter and smile I ever heard. I still can’t explain it, but it was if the sound of your voice and sight of your smile were meant for me.
You instantly owned me, and now I’ll never get enough of you.
Only you can have me feeling incest and ready to explode in a jealous rage, one second, then have me smiling and even laughing in the next. Only you, seriously baby, onlyyou. Because no one’s ever made me feel the happiness you’ve brought into my life. Not Even Close. I look forward to your laughter and giddiness for the rest of our lives.
Love you forever.
Byron
