Landon came into Lyric’s life three years ago when his mother married
her father. Landon is hardened, rough around the edges, and has a chip
on his shoulder. He's a bad boy who boxes, and seems to hate the
world.
But
Lyric
wants
him.
Lyric doesn’t want to ignore what she feels for Landon, but she can’t
help but worry what others will say if they had a relationship: wrong,
twisted, disgusting. But when a fellow classmate drunkenly assaults
her, it’s Landon who saves her. It’s after this that her emotions morph
into
something
stronger.
Landon has been called many things: deviant, destructive, and an all
around bad boy. But he’s never cared what anyone thought, not until
Lyric. It only takes opening up to her to see that she’s it for him. But
how can she possible want a guy like him? Is Landon even capable of
giving her everything she deserves? Can he control himself and protect
her when she’s attacked again?

Chapter One
"I don't know how you live under the same roof as him, Lyric," Marie,
Lyric's best friend, said in a hushed tone. "I'd be frightened he would go
postal
one day."
Lyric and Marie were in the cafeteria at school sitting in a corner table,
and staring right at Lyric's stepbrother, Landon. He was across the
room, alone as usual, with nothing but a can of pop in front of him and
his phone in his hand. Even from this distance she could make out the
hard lines of his body. At only eighteen years old he was built like a
tank, could have probably kicked ass at football or any other contact
sport like that because of his strength and sheer size alone, but he was a
loner. In the last three years since he'd been going to this school and
living under the same roof with her, he'd done nothing but start shit.
When Laura, Landon's mother, had married Brent, Lyric's father, she
knew her life would change, and although they weren't close, Landon
had impacted her life. He was her stepbrother by all accounts, married
into the family, which connected them, but she never had any kind of
pull to him, not in a brotherly way, at least.
"Honestly, he keeps his distance from everyone." Lyric grabbed her
bottle of water and took a drink from it, all the while watching him. "He
keeps to himself at home, too, well, unless he's coming home all
scuffed up from a
fight."
"Yeah, I can see him getting into a lot of fights, and winning."
So could Lyric. "It's like he has a perpetual chip on his shoulder." She
looked over at Marie for a second. "He's angry at everything."
"But he's gorgeous, I'll give him that. Too bad he is also kind of scary."
Lyric looked back at Landon after Marie spoke. "I guess I'd be upset,
too, if I was uprooted and had to finish off high school in another city."
"I thought you said he was having issues at his other school, too?"
Marie asked. Landon had been here for the last three years, since he
was a freshman in high school.
"Yeah, or so I heard."
"What did you hear again?" Marie asked, sounding very interested.
Lyric stared at her friend for a second, her eyebrow lifted. "You do
realize I've told you this before?"
Marie shrugged. "Tell me again. It's interesting."
Lyric exhaled. "I overheard my dad and Laura talking about." It wasn't
like Lyric was eavesdropping on her stepmother and dad, but when
she'd overheard them speaking about all of the fights Landon had
gotten into, all of the trouble he was surrounding himself with, Lyric
couldn't help but listen to how her stepbrother really was.
"You think he's like that because his dad ran off?"
Lyric shrugged. "Maybe, or maybe he's just one of those guys that
doesn't
