and then she meets Jordan.

Enter Colt. He is not safe, and he's more than willing to help Ashley fulfill her vow.
The Excerpt:
I feel Colt laugh, and he looks down into my face. That’s when he seems to realize what I’ve been acutely aware of for the last several minutes—our bodies are pressed together.“It’s awesome, yeah?” he says. “Adrenaline rush.”“Yeah,” I breathe. “I guess.”I’m not sure if he’s going to kiss me until he does. His mouth covers mine, and energy mixes with the alcohol flooding my body. Our tongues slide together, and I grip his shirt so I don’t collapse.Every single bit of this is wrong, and there’s no way I’m stopping it. It’s back, that good feeling. The sadness has been pushed out again, and in its place is this rush, this rush of adrenaline like Colt said.He pulls back and smiles at me. “We’re going to start dating. Now. You’re my partner in crime.”
