Blurb
Dear Jerk Across the Street, sorry for accidentally
walking in on you and catching an eyeful of your—equipment. And hard pass on
the open invitation to join you in the shower “anytime”, A-hole.
That’s the note I should’ve written. Instead I sent a
pleasant and apologetic version.
Had I known Phoenix “Nix” Russo would’ve been the neighbor
from hell, I’d have told him right where he could shove my words.
Nix is the big man on campus with everyone lined up at his
games to make sure he knows it. Sure, he’s got piercing green eyes, abs that
don’t quit and a smile that could set fire to a set of panties from a hundred
yards away, but he’s also the biggest pain in my ass.
Dear Pink-Haired Menace, learn how to take a joke and
stop being such a kill-joy...
Elle Masterson called the cops on one of my parties—again. My sweet talking usually gets me out of trouble, but this time it got me into a nice pair of silver handcuffs. Now I’m on a reputation rehab tour with a stop at a spring break community service project.
Guess who’s my new boss?
Now we’re shoulder to shoulder, sweaty, tired and…she’s not
anything like I expected. There might just be a heart under that hardass
exterior. She’s invading my dreams and I can’t shake the feeling she’s the key
to unlocking a piece of me that I’ve hidden away.
It’s only a matter of time until she finds out why I’m
really here.
Maybe I can break through her walls and into her heart
before that happens...one screw at a time.

Excerpt
“I’ve missed this,” he whispered against my lips.
“Me too.”
His fingers tightened around the hair at the base of my neck. Tilting my head to the side, he ran his lips over my skin, sending shivers down my spine.
One second we were standing in the middle of the pitch-black room and the next the whole world tilted. I landed against Nix’s solid chest.
“Are you okay?” I tried to push myself up.
He tightened his hold around me. “The stress balls, sweatpants, and t-shirts cushioned my fall.”
“Thank you for today.” I peppered his jaw with kisses.
“Thank you for letting me do this for you.” The outline of his erection pressed against the front of my mound. Just one inch higher…
He wrapped his hands around my waist and lifted me, perfecting the angle.
I shuddered and ground my hips against him. Someone walked by the door, but we didn’t stop—couldn’t stop.
His hands cupped my ass, dragging me harder against him. The texture of his jeans added extra sensation against my clit. I was on fire for him through two layers of clothes.
My short gasps and his low groans were the only sounds in the room other than the fabric friction.
“We should get back out there.” I raked my teeth along the side of his neck.
“You’re probably right.” His hips shot up and I wanted to scream in frustration that he wasn’t inside me, but I didn’t want to break from the thrumming pleasure rushing all over my body.
“In a second.”
“In a minute.” His tongue danced with mine in time to the rhythm of our hips. Laughter rang out in the hallway behind the door, but I couldn’t stop. If someone came in, there wasn’t anything that would stop me from dry-humping Nix into next week.

The story begins almost two years before where Nix makes Elle feel like the butt of his jokes and Nix kinda has a crush on her. The story then takes up 18 months later when they are still neighbors but she calls the cops on his parties a lot and she feels he is entitled football jerk.
Until he is told he needs to do something good and volunteer to build houses to fix his bad rep with the NFL as the football draft is coming. Nix actually looks like a jerk on paper but inside he actually is a sweetheart. While Elle looks like a doogooder, wild child with pink hair and an attitude to match. But inside she has dreams and she wants to win this award.
The two are forced to get to know each other as Elle is running the project Nix is volunteering at. And that's when the fun really begins. This is about them discovering each other and seeing beyond the doogooder and football star persona's they hide behind.
My personal feelings are I LOVED Nix , soooooo much. He was this awesome guy and Elle kinda hated him based on principal rather than anything he had done to her. The real issue with Elle is she has had experiences with love and doesn't feel that she deserves love and she has a hard time with trust.
This was a fun end of college romance with enemies who start to see that not always what you see on the outside is what is on the inside. I don't think it was as great as the first book in series but it definitely is a fun addition to the series and I cannot wait for Jules story.
