\nShades of Sydney<\/strong>
\nby Brittney Coon
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Sydney West enjoys sampling summer boys, but this year, one refuses to be a one-night stand\u2026<\/p>\n

Twenty-one-year-old Sydney doesn\u2019t believe in relationships. Her parents\u2019 toxic divorce has taught her love is nothing but a sinister fairytale. So every summer she parties, hooks up, abandons her lover before dawn, and repeats.<\/p>\n

That is until she meets gorgeous local surfer Jason King at the beach\u2026<\/p>\n

When Jason fails to flirt\u2014or even give her a second glance\u2014she decides something must be wrong with him, and it\u2019s safer to stay away. But when Sydney and Jason\u2019s best friends hook up and become Malibu\u2019s hottest couple, they are forced to spend more time together than either of them cares for.<\/p>\n

Armed with a sharp tongue, Sydney works to keep Jason at bay\u2026<\/p>\n

In a moment of weakness, Sydney lets her guard down and confides in Jason, realizing he\u2019s more than just a hot guy\u2014he\u2019s also a friend. And when Sydney\u2019s need for a summer boy results in her falling into bed with Jason, despite her better judgment, she runs away from him by morning.<\/p>\n

The problem is, he won\u2019t accept being another one-night stand, and will do anything to prove\u2026<\/p>\n

Love really does exist.

Here is a short excerpt from the book:<\/strong><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cI can show you some tips. Been surfing all my life,\u201d he said proudly.
\n\u201cYes,\u201d Amelia said excitedly, dragging the poor boy to the ocean.
\nRolling my eyes, I turned toward the other boy. He was tall, but not \u00fcber tall, like the other guy. His muscles moved like liquid as he approached me. I had the urge to touch his abs and see if they were as firm as they appeared. His hair was tussled and golden brown, as if sun kissed. His board was a light blue with black stripes. It was a good brand, but a basic print.
\n\u201cDo you need surfing lessons too or are you here in support?\u201d the boy asked me. His silver eyes mirrored the moon, sending shivers down my shine.
\n\u201cUmm\u2026I was wanting to be surfing\u2026\u201d
\nWhat the hell did I just say?
\nHis eyes sparkled with laughter, but he didn\u2019t mock me. \u201cI can teach you some tricks if you want.\u201d
\nI looked at him closer. My stomach fell to the sand. He was the guy I bumped into at that club and he didn\u2019t bother giving me a second look. He kept walking as if I was just another body in the crowd, no one worthy of his attention.
\n\u201cWere you at Club Purple last night?\u201d I asked.
\nHe tilted his head. \u201cYes, how did you know?\u201d<\/div>\n
