About You Were Never Not Mine
She should hate him at first sight… August Lancaster is a menace. His power at Lancaster Prep is legendary, and no one dares cross him. He’s a ruling senior, and everyone wants to be his friend, or at the very least stay in his good graces. When he sets his sights on me my freshman year, he makes me wish I never existed. His constant, unwanted attention is humiliating. He makes me burn with both anger and desire. Even though I try to give as good as I get, it isn’t until he graduates that I can actually breathe. Now I’m finally at college, and it’s everything I want it to be. New people, new experiences, new Sinclair. Until I discover that August attends the same university. When he starts flirting with me at a frat party, I realize he doesn’t even recognize me. At first, I’m humiliated all over again, but I quickly decide to make it my mission to remind August f'ing Lancaster exactly who I am. I start running into him everywhere. Problem is, he can't stop talking to me. Kissing me. Touching me. It’s like he’s obsessed with me, and soon enough...I’m worried I’m becoming obsessed with him, too. But can I trust him? Does someone like August ever truly change? Or is he going to ruin me yet again?
