Close by Gigi Vale

A party gone wrong. A dangerous attraction. And a game of pretend. But is it really?

Lilian

It was just one night, one impulsive choice. But now he’s in my life, and hiding is no longer an option.

Sebastian

Maybe it was the raw pain in her voice that made me stop. Or maybe I’m just a sucker for a damsel in distress.

Lilian Edmunds never wanted the spotlight. She’s more comfortable with her nose in a book than in the middle of a party. But one reckless night, everything changes. Caught up in a game she didn’t want to play, she finds herself face-to-face with Sebastian Barron—campus golden boy, heartbreaker, and the one person who sees right through her walls.

Sebastian Barron doesn’t do attachments, but there’s something about Lil that’s impossible to ignore. She’s quiet, vulnerable, and so out of place in his world of parties and shallow flirtations. But there’s fire underneath her surface, and he wants to be the one to stoke it. Especially since he knows exactly who she is.
