The Day I Met Striker

'What do you really want from me?' I whisper. He lifts his head from the crook of my neck, his eyes a stormy puddle of confusion. 'What I've always wanted, Verona." He pauses, then adds slowly, 'You.' 'But Striker.' I lock eyes with him. "I'm already yours." _______________ Verona Bridon only has one goal in life since her mom's death: protect her brother at all costs. Moving in with their aunt they lost contact with, they begin a new life. In a small town like Metford, Verona is confident she'll be able to watch over him properly. But just because a town is small, doesn't mean there isn't trouble lurking about. Enrolling into Skye-West turns out badly when Noah accidentally becomes involved in the school leaders business. Striker Cunningham is not one to let go of things easily- even with Noah. What happens when Verona offers sexual pleasure in exchange for his safety? Is this deal a blessing in disguise? Can they find it in themselves to love each other through this sinful exchange?
