Series: Smart
Girls Finish First #1
“Love is an earthquake. It comes when you least expect it. It rips
the ground clear away. Right out from under you.”
The day Lia
Smart met Grayson Walker, eight years ago, was the day she fell helplessly in
love with him. Coincidentally, it was the same day Grayson fell in love with
someone else: Lia’s smarter, sexier, superior-in-every-way older sister, Alex.
Now, nearly a
decade later, Alex and Grayson are long over and twenty-two-year-old Lia has finally
managed to forget all those lonely nights she spent pining after her sister’s
boyfriend. But when Grayson unexpectedly arrives back in town with Alex for
Labor Day weekend and the two announce that they’re not only back together but engaged, all the feelings that Lia
buried suddenly come bubbling back to the surface.
But Lia is no
longer the awkward, gangly tomboy she was at fourteen. Far from it. And Grayson
is conflicted by the lustful thoughts he’s now having for her. He knows he
could never act on those thoughts,
however. Grayson has always prided himself on being one of the “good guys.” But
as the weekend wears on, he’s finding this new grown-up version of Lia more and
more impossible to resist...
Heartbreaking
and sexy with a dash of humor, Sophie Swift crafts a passionate, unforgettable
tale about desire, growing up, and the kind of love that shakes us to the core.
Contains adult situations and explicit content.
Recommended for ages 17+
Enjoy This Excerpt from Out From Under You
Grayson
My chest hitches when I see her, barely
visible in the porch light, lumbering down the walkway to the beach, the
blackness of the night swallowing her up with each step.
I eye the door to the hallway.
The door to everything that happens after
this moment.
I suddenly feel like my entire life will be
decided by which side of it I’m on.
This side—right here where I stand—is the
side I’ve always known. The one I have all the answers to. This is the side on
which I marry Alex and she bears my children and we buy a town house in
Brooklyn together. This is the side I always thought I wanted to be on.
And that
side, over there—through that doorway, down those stairs, onto that beach—that
is the side I know nothing about. A foreign land. With no certainties and no
answers. The side that terrifies me.
My gaze drills into the wooden door. My
skin feels hot. My mouth is dry. My fingers twitch.
And then suddenly, there is no more choice.
My body moves without permission from my
mind.
In three paces I’m in the hallway. In ten
juddered heartbeats I’m down the stairs. In a dizzying montage of choppy,
breathless still frames, my bare feet stagger down the walkway, sinking into
the cool sand.
Lia stands motionless at the edge of the
water, staring out into the darkened horizon, as though she might find answers
there. As though the world beyond this shore might make more sense. The full
moon casts a faint light on the side of her face, causing her skin to glow.
The sand hides the sound of my heavy
footfalls as I stride toward her.
When my hand tightens around her arm, she
is startled but doesn’t scream. When I pull her around to face me, she opens
her mouth to protest. To continue the tirade she began in the parking lot of
the bar. But when my lips crush decisively against hers, claiming her with a
consuming, covetous kiss, everything falls silent.
Only the waves dare to breathe.
