Recommended to readers 17+ - New adult romance Includes the prequel, THE TRAP. My life has turned out to be such a cliche. And not in a good way. It's not exactly "Sixteen and Pregnant," but at eighteen my only advantage is a high school diploma. And if that's not enough, the father-and I use that term loosely-couldn't have hightailed it out of my life fast enough. I thought I really knew him. Unfortunately, my boyfriend of three years transformed from Dr. Jekyll to Mr. Hyde once he realized his carefree, childless days would be coming to an end. I'm over him now though. The real love of my life is chubby, has more gum than teeth, and stands a little over two feet tall. She may not have been planned, but I've never regretted having her. She "is" the center of my world. A world that's turned upside down when my ex returns ready to earn the love and trust of the child he abandoned before birth. Letting him into my daughter's life is one thing but letting him back into mine isn't going to happen. Because the biggest mistake of my life has a name, and that name is Mitchell Aaron Kingsley. And he's one mistake I don't "ever" intend to make again.

"Oh MY GOSH this book was not amazing, it wasn't great it wasn't good, it was mind blowingly insanely, awesome..." ~ B.E. Love, Goodreads Looking back, I should have seen it coming. Paige didn't like that I went so far away to university. But it was going to only be for two years. She'd join me after she did her two years at community college. I thought we could swing that no problem. We were solid. But she hated the distance. She hated not seeing me every day. She complained that I didn't come home enough. She hated that for months on end, texting and phone calls were our only form of communication. It wasn't enough. She'd ask about the girls on campus. She'd gotten it into her head that girls were always making a play for me. I laughed and told her, even if that were true, I'd never cheat on her. She didn't seem completely reassured by that. The bottom line is, Paige thought she was losing me. She wanted me home with her. But I could never imagine the level she'd sink to--the trap she'd set to make that happen. And like an idiot I walked right into it. And it's a mistake I'm going to have to pay for the rest of my life.
