On The Rebound by L A Cotton

An all-new enemies-to-lovers, bully, sports romance from bestselling author L A Cotton

They say your first love leaves a mark.

For Calliope James it didn’t only leave a mark, it tore out her heart and left it bleeding on the ground.

He was her best friend.
Her first kiss.
Her everything.

Until one day, he wasn’t.

Zachary Messiah will never forget the girl with eyes the color of whiskey. But he’s not that boy anymore.

Cold.
Cruel.
He’s devoid of emotion.

Their paths were never supposed to cross again. But love doesn’t always play by the rules.

Now he’s the King of Steinbeck University and she’s the new girl on campus … and the pasts they have fought so hard to bury are about to collide.

Only this time, they might not survive the fallout.

Excerpt On The Rebound by L A Cotton

“You want this?” I smirked. “You want me to ruin you?”

She nodded. “Take your best shot, Messiah.” Damn, those words again.

The challenge.

She was so different.

Harder.

Sassy.

Distant in a way I didn’t like.

My Calli had always been so soft and kind and warm.

But we weren’t the same people. The old Calli wouldn’t have been able to deal with the new Zach. So this was perfect. We could both fuck away our frustrations and then go our separate ways.

This wasn’t a reunion; it was an exorcism. A chance to finally purge myself of Calliope James once and for all.

I planned to fuck her so hard she never forgot me. And then I planned to walk away, for good.
