**About the Author
Sherilee’s always had a big (some may say warped) imagination, and as a kid scared herself conjuring up horror stories full of ghosts and other terrifying creatures. As she got older the stories changed quite a bit, but they were always there. Still, she never dreamed of actually writing down any of those wonderful imaginary people or places. Not until many years later when her sister introduced her to the wondrous world of romance novels, and her very large book collection. She’s pleased to say, she still has the big imagination… only now her characters are chasing their happily ever after. Sherilee Gray is a kiwi girl and lives in beautiful New Zealand with her husband and their two children. When she isn't writing sexy, edgy contemporary romance or fueling her voracious book addiction, she can be found dreaming of far off places with a mug of tea in one hand and a bar of Cadburys Rocky Road chocolate in the other.

She thinks I’ve got a filthy mouth and a wicked tongue. She’s about to learn how right she is.COLE: I came to college for two reasons: hot girls and free beer. That is, until I bumped into her – the last girl I ever expected to see again. There was never any good reason for there to be anything between uptight, innocent, Senator’s-daughter Addison Tanner and me – me the tattooed, punk-rock motorcycle kid from the wrong side of the tracks.

Because the thing is, Addison Tanner thinks she’s immune to my charm. I’ve got one night to show her just how wrong she is. ADDISON: College is really for two things: studying hard, and making professional connections. Or at least, that’s why I’m here, and why I came to this party at a professor’s house tonight. I certainly didn’t think it would be as wild as it is, but a little fun won’t kill me, right? But that’s before I run into the devil himself. Cole Grady. Once upon a time, we used to be friends, but that’s before we both grew up. That’s before the boy I knew turned into the crude-talking man with the dangerously alluring glint in his eye and the reputation that scares me as much as it draws me in… That’s before the night he kissed me and then left me in the dust. Now we’re trapped at this dumb party, but I can survive one night of being cooped at a function with Cole Grady, right? Even if that smug, filthy-mouthed pr*ck thinks he can tease me until I break. The thing is, he might be right. *This is quick, steamy and sweet standalone novella with a HEA and NO CLIFFHANGER!* Please note: This story was previously released as part of the Wicked Ways Bad Boy Collection in October, 2016.
