EXCERPT - April Showers by Karli Perrin


UK

What happens when your head and your heart pull you in completely opposite directions?

April Adams is about to find out the hard way.

When April enrols at Manchester University, it feels like a whole new life. New city, new house, new friends...new crush.

Isaac Sharpe is the hottest guy on campus - with an even hotter reputation. After a chance meeting, April quickly finds herself wrapped up in all that he is. But what if all that he is isn't what it seems?

Caught up in a battle between what she wants and what she thinks she needs, April meets Lukas Roberts. Lukas is the security blanket that she craves so desperately and she finds solace in their friendship. But what happens when she finds more than she bargained for?

April has always been a big believer of fate, but will she learn that she's in control of her own destiny before it's too late?

Join April as she embarks on a life changing journey of love and loss, which will have you laughing and crying until the very end.

"Looking for me?" a voice whispered in my ear, making me jump. I turned around to see the beautiful stranger smiling down at me. His closeness sent a rush of excitement through my whole body. I took a deep breath, trying to calm my nerves.
"Are you stalking me?" I replied.
"Do I look like a stalker?”
I raised an eyebrow, “Do you really want me to answer that?”
He grinned, “Well I can tell that you’ve missed me.”
"Yep, like a hole in the head.”
Liar.
“You're way too sweet, it’s actually pretty sickly. You should work on toning it down a notch or two before somebody throws up on you.”
I thought I heard him say something about being sick but my mind was preoccupied. All I could concentrate on was how incredibly sexy he looked in a suit. If I thought that he was handsome this morning then he was taking it to a whole new level right now. I was pretty sure that if I got my hands on some GQ magazines, I would find him on several of the front covers.
His hair was still messy which drove me crazy as it looked like he had just gotten out of bed. I began to wonder what his bedroom would look like and what I would look like in it. I blushed at the thought, I'd never been any good at hiding my emotions. I noticed that his stubble had gone which made me want to reach out and touch his smooth, chiselled face. He looked at me with the same amused expression that he had worn this morning. It took my breath away and I mentally cursed myself for being so easily affected by him.
He looked down at his expensive looking watch, who knew that watches could be sexy? "You're late...again."
"For what?" I asked.
"I've been waiting for you."
I narrowed my eyes, "But you didn't even know that I was coming."

"I'm a stalker, remember? You said it yourself. We know these things." He winked at me and I tried my best not to grin like a total idiot.
