You need a keeper, Elsa. The first time I laid eyes on the delicious mountain of a man, Lachlan “Lock” Kelly, he walked out of the room without giving me a single glance. You’re in trouble now. It’s my junior year at Savage U and life is grand. Except for the fact that Lachlan Kelly lives right next door, he acts like he doesn’t know my name, and he barely acknowledges my existence. I don’t get it. How can he so easily look away from me when he’s all I see? The ice queen is melting… A few angry frat boys and their arm candy make it their mission to ruin my semester and possibly my life. But I show those boys that messing with Elena Sanderson is a fatal mistake, and Lachlan surprisingly backs me up. And when he finally gives me his attention, I greedily soak up everything he has to offer. You’re arsenic-laced candy Lachlan tells me I’m bad for him, but he can’t resist the pull between us anymore. I don’t break things. I know he’s not staying. When he goes, he’ll leave me tangled up in memories. I won’t play games. His promises have a time limit, even though I’m beginning to wish they didn’t. Even if it hurts… We were over before we ever began. (Author's note: Sweet Like Poison contains dark themes and mature content, including mentions of past assault.
