**Alice**

Moving to Los Angeles for college is a frightening step for a small-town girl from Colorado who always gets straight As, has never taken a sip of liquor in her life, and scores a perfect zero when it comes to experiences with boys. Dad doesn’t want anything to happen to his only girl, so he's sent me to stay with his ex-military friend who lives near the university. How could he have known I'd fall for the man who's meant to protect me?

What the hell is wrong with me? Alice is pure, innocent, and my good friend’s daughter, but every time I look at her I keep having these crazy, rabid, dirty thoughts. She's completely off-limits to me, and yet I can’t seem to keep my eyes and hands off her. I’m going to burn in hell for doing all the things I’m doing to her, but you know what? I don’t give a shit. I was in love once before, had my heart split wide open, but I’m willing to go there again if it means I get to have her.
