Belle Winters (belle_winters) | 1 comments Hey!
I just published this book and it currently available for free on Amazon and on Kindle Unlimited. I'm looking for some reviews and ratings on my book.

The main character Lucy is being uprooted by her mother to move in with her new fiancée. Turns out that one of his kids is the boy of her nightmares, Landon. He has made it his mission to make her life hell and thanks to some nosy and quirky siblings he is forced to reveal the source of his hatred... love. Landon is your crazy alpha male who does not play with his woman.

Be warned, if you're looking for a boy meets girl and they fall in love and live happily ever after, than this is not for you. The characters go through some things that you wouldn't expect from your normal High School students. I included an excerpt below (please excuse the formatting).


“So can I have her? I’ll date you Lucy, do you promise to feed me?” Ricky begged.
I laughed, and Landon turned to him, “No you cannot have her. Leave her alone.” He snapped and I laughed harder.
He really isn’t putting any pressure on me. But even with Nick his possessiveness seems instinctual. Like he can’t help himself, and I find it hilarious. He turned and focused his attention on me. He threw one arm behind my chair and the other on the outside of my arm furthest from him caging me in. “What’s so funny Lucy?” he asked.
“You silly.” I told him and bought up a finger and flicked his nose.
“You trying to be cute?” he asked.
I smiled brighter, “I don’t know… is it cute?” I challenged.
He leaned closer where his mouth was almost touching mine, “yes Lucy. I always find you cute, even when you’re being a pain in my ass.” He leaned in like he was going to kiss me and the next thing I knew he was backing up slowly and my mouth was following his. He laughed and broke the spell.
I slapped his chest. “You’re such a punk you know that?” I asked him.
“And you’re the only person who steals my shit, teases me, and hits me without worrying about what I’m going to do to them. You know that?” he threw back at me.
I shrugged, “I don’t know why they’re scared, ‘cause you’re a punk.” I teased.
“Girl got balls dude” Ricky piped in. I laughed and Landon sighed.
He turned his head towards Ricky, “she must, right? Should I teach her a lesson?” he asked then swung his gaze back to me. Oh god, he’s plotting something!
Ricky pretended to think about it and the shook his head. “Na Lucy’s cool. And if you want to keep getting fed I advise you to take any abuse she dishes out.” He commented.
I laughed harder, “you heard the man. I can do whatever the hell I want if I have to feed you. And trust me you eat like 5 grown men I think. Between you and Nick it’s like cooking for a football team…” I pretended to think about it and Landon narrowed his eyes. He grabbed my waist and picked me up to straddle him. I was now sandwiched between him and the table with his strong arms caging me in.
“Now, go ahead and finish that thought. What were you about to say?” he asked.
Oh so he wanted to try intimidation did he? “I was going to say maybe I’m better off feeding the football team instead.” I told him and tipped my chin up in challenge.
I saw him grin and his eyes changed. Ok Lucy, time’s up… he’s about to make his move. And while I thought I was mentally prepared I wasn’t at all. I wasn’t expecting him to tickle me. Oh My God. This is like torture! I was screeching and squirming all over the place. He let up when I’m sure my face was bright red to let me catch my breath. I fell into his chest still laughing and he was chuckling along. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me closer, and I wiggled my body up his lap to get as close as possible. I was trying to calm down, and normally his arms gave me a relaxed feeling. He leaned his head down and whispered in my ear. “Stop it Lucy. Just so you know, you’re on my lap and you’re squirming around. You’re starting to lead me to a place of discomfort.” I frowned still moving closer when I felt movement and it was like an eureka moment.
I stopped moving instantly and in one move he tugged me closer so that I was comfortable and didn’t have to move around. He was laughing at me and thankfully my face was already red from laughing so hard, that no one should be able to notice what just happened. I buried my face into his neck making him laugh harder. He placed a kiss on my shoulder. “It’s fine Lucy. Don’t be embarrassed, I’m the one who’ll have to hide it.”
I nuzzled his neck more trying to literally hide there to escape this moment. I felt like everyone around us knew what happened even though I know it’s all in my head, it’s still embarrassing. “Landon stop laughing at me, it’s not funny.” I whined.
He rubbed circles on my back and continued chatting.
