Maddox was always the good girl, the ballerina with a love for hip hop, and best friends with Killian-the bad boy every girl wanted but couldn't tame. But when Killian left for college, Maddox was left behind to figure out life on her own. Two years later, it's her turn to go to college she's a new woman. No longer the shy girl in pointe shoes, she's fierce, confident, and unapologetically bold, working as a barmaid at the infamous Coyote Ugly, where dancing on the bar and teasing the crowd is all part of the job.

When Killian-still the arrogant, snarky captain of the undefeated hockey team-walks into the bar with his team, he's not prepared for what he sees. Maddox is no longer the girl he left behind, and she's definitely caught his attention as she owns the stage, moving to the beat of "Pony" with a sultry confidence.

He's still as possessive and controlling as ever, but now, Maddox isn't the girl to follow his rules. She's clever, quick-witted, and plays by her own. Sparks fly as old feelings resurface, and the tension between them threatens to ignite. In a world of ambition, jealousy, and undeniable chemistry, can they find a way to be more than just the good girl and the bad boy they once were?

Warning ⚠️ This book contains dark themes, mature and triggering content, i.e. description/talk of suicide, rape, porn, and mature language. ~^~^~^~ His lips cupped mine, and a swell of warmth unfurled in my heart. It was gentle and soft, something I never expected from a guy like him. He moved his right hand from my cheek to my waist, tugging me against him, and molded our bodies together. A wave of electricity went down to my core when he licked my lips. "Open your mouth, Bella." His commanding husky voice against my lips jolted my heart, and I followed his order like a slave. With no control, a moan erupted from my throat as his tongue met mine. It was barely audible, but I knew he heard it when he smiled against my lips. He swept my hair from my face to my back and gathered them in his fist. He tugged my head back, deepening the kiss, and my heart thrashed in my chest. At that moment, I didn't need drugs to know what being high felt like because his lips were enough to send me on nine clouds. Just once and I was addicted to it. If this is how being kissed feels like, then fuck, I've wasted a lot of time. ~^~^~^~ FEATURED ON: @Romance (Romantic Suspense) HIGHEST RANKINGS: #1 Goodgirl, Darkpast #2 Badboy #5 Newadult
