Author: Susannah K Stone

Genre: Dark High School Romance

Release Date: November 29, 2020

❤ ROMANCE BEGINS WITH CHAOS ❤

★★ The steamy new series from the bestselling author of the Rebel Love trilogy ★★

Ellie

Arrested. Spurned. Kicked out of foster care. Life’s been chaotic for Ellie Mason after a devastating accident two years ago upended her world and shredded her heart and hope.

Now, Ellie keeps her secrets close and her defences strong. Things are easier that way. Safer. Especially as the new scholarship student at exclusive Cullen High, yet another place she doesn’t fit in.

Enter Cal Keane. Cullen High’s rebel misfit with a heart as dark and misunderstood as his tattoos and his motorbike. Cal’s the only one to notice Ellie’s broken soul behind the bravado and the shields. A soul he makes it his mission to mend.

But to Ellie, being mended means opening up. It means revealing secrets hidden for years.

Shunned. Rejected. Hated.

Sometimes it’s better the devil you know…

Cal

School – or jail. Conform – or rebel. Cal Keane’s made many choices since his dad moved the family to Cullen town seven months before.

The biggest decision of all? Hitting the road the second he turns eighteen, leaving the sour memory of Cullen High and Cullen town far behind. Six months, one and a half school semesters, and he’ll never lay eyes on Cullen again.

Cal’s never had ties, never had trust… and that’s how he likes it.

Enter Ellie Mason.

Broken. Tough. Vulnerable. Defences so high no-one can penetrate.

And suddenly Cal’s escape plan seems like the worst choice of all…

Alpha is drawn to alpha. Damage is drawn to damage. And alpha and damaged combined? The only result is chaos.

❤ CHAOS AT CULLEN HIGH is a steamy and sensuous dark high school romance mixing love and violence, tenderness and toughness. If you like strong alpha males, independent heroines and romance with a rough and readable edge, this one’s for you! ❤

CHAOS is the first book in CULLEN TOWN TALES, a series of interconnected standalones and duets exploring the *many* dark and sexy secrets of a small seaside town. It’s a HFN (no cliffhanger) dark romance duet finishing in a HEA in Book 2. The sequel, CARNAGE AT CULLEN COMP, releases early 2021.

Five minutes later I’m on the back of a bike, arms loosely wrapped around this guy’s waist, roaring down the hill and towards Cullen town.

I wonder where the fuck I’m going.

I also wonder what the fuck I’m doing.

But mostly? I just hang on for the ride.

A man behind the woman looked “off” to Mack in his preppy, soft colors. He had the strut of a street thug and his cargo pants didn’t exactly nail the preppy look. The guy also had crude tattoos on the hands below his knuckles. This man is hiding something. Or was he? Mack shook his head. Could make yourself crazy thinking like that. As the man with the strut passed, he spat a sunflower seed shell from his mouth. Mack took a step and the bottom fell out of his stomach. He stopped, turned, and picked up the seed. He regarded it in a kind of fog, smelling the faint peppery sour smell in the air. He then saw movement out of the corner of his eye. Gabriel Hernandez! Mack reached for his weapon, yelling, “Freeze! FBI!” But the man before him was already facing him. Mack froze. His mind screamed, draw your weapon, but his arm didn’t respond. And in that split second of hesitation, the preppy man reached into his pockets; pistols instantaneously appeared in both of the man’s hands.

EXCERPT:

The silence was deafening, a screaming buzz in her oversensitive ears. Mom’s hand squeezed tighter.

Another loud thump sounded outside, this time on the ground. Her legs shook, refusing to move. Mom crept forward and yanked Hailee to follow.

In the dining room, she exhaled silent relief that she left on the small kitchen light. If not, she would’ve slammed right into the table.

The knob on the back door jiggled.

Mom spun to her. The look in her wide eyes sent an icy chill all the way down Hailee’s spine.

“It’s too late,” Mom whispered.

Jolene is done with pilots. She’s better than just another quick layover. But dating is difficult with her chaotic schedule in and out of airport terminals and hotel rooms all around the world. She’s tired of watching couples fly off to romantic destinations and families spending vacations together. However, she doesn’t plan to be a flight attendant forever. She just doesn’t know what she wants to do yet. One thing she does know is that she certainly doesn’t want to do that arrogant Greek bastard Jim. Dimitrios “Jim” Georgakopolous is a contract pilot who loves his job — who wouldn’t when you can pick and choose your own schedule and destination? When a flight cancelation turns into the best layover of his life, he suddenly finds he doesn’t want to leave the arms of a certain dark-haired beauty named Jolene. Unfortunately, the storm that stranded them both there compares little to Jolene’s rage when she finds out he’s a pilot. Jim never expected to find his airport tryst again. Jolene certainly didn’t expect to be the stewardess on the same plane that Jim’s traveling on to Greece. Will this be a twist of fate or a modern-day Greek tragedy?

Escape to the romantic paradise of Holiday Springs and warm-up with your next happily ever after.

Excerpt

“I’m sorry,” I whisper, and her eyes meet mine.

“W-What? Why?” Her eyes flash with more confusion.

I reach out and caress her face with my gloved hand, wishing I could feel her skin beneath mine. “I’m sorry for hurting you, Superstar.”

Her eyes glance back down at her lap. “It was a long time ago, Ty.”

I push under her chin, and she gazes at me again. “I’m sorry. I was young and stupid. I thought I was protecting you.”

She pulls back. “Protecting me from what?”

I sigh. “From me, from having to have a boyfriend that was never here, that was always busy.”

“But all I wanted was you,” she states bitterly.

“And I wasn’t here for you. No one could’ve had me. I was too… too busy and wrapped up in my Olympic dreams.”

She turns and zips up her bag. “I would have waited,” she murmurs as she stands up to leave.

I jump up and block her path. “I know you would have. But I couldn’t ask you to do that. You have dreams, too.”

“But you never gave me the choice to decide for myself,” she says and jams a finger at my chest. “You decided for both of us.”

“I did. And I can’t take it back, but if I could, I would,” I reply as I grab her head in my hands and kiss her.

She doesn’t move as I press my lips to hers. They warm under mine, and after a second she sighs, allowing my tongue free reign of her mouth. I taste her for the first time in way too long. And she tastes just as sweet as I remembered.

She drops her guitar case in the snow, letting her arms wrap around my middle as my hands hold her face. I don’t feel anything except her, not the snow, the cold, the wind, nothing but Brittany. Our warm breaths mingle in the cool air, surrounding us in our own personal cloud. I groan as I deepen our kiss.

She pulls back suddenly. Her hand flying to her lips.

“I’m sorry. I… shit, I’m sorry.” She has a look of anguish on her face.

“Brit, I kissed you. There’s nothing to be sorry about. When are we going to stop dancing around this thing,” I motion between us, “that’s clearly still between us?”

She shakes her head. “No. There’s nothing between us. That’s over. It ended when you walked out of my life.” I watch as a single tear falls on her cheek, and it might as well be a knife plunging into my heart.

I reach out to pull her back to me, but she jumps away.

“No. We can’t do this. I can’t do this. Not again.”

And it hits me. She’s protecting herself. I hurt her so badly that she reacts to me like a hand touching a hot pan. I can’t blame her.

“Brit, I won’t hurt you. I never met to hurt you.”

“I know,” she answers as another tear falls on her cheek. “But you did.”

EXCERPT

“I refuse to be the elf,” Jeremy insisted as Lydia tossed the tights at his face, the silky green fabric catching on the inside of his lip.

“But you’re tall! And wiry! Like that guy in the movie.”

Sputtering, he flung the cloth on the couch, one leg draped over the arm in a manner that reminded him of a brothel.

“I look nothing like the guy who played Elf,” he argued.

“With your hair all grown out like that and curly, you kind of do. You need to shave the salt and pepper beard, though.”

“I do not have salt in my beard!”

Lydia stroked the side of his cheek and laughed. “I didn’t know you were in denial, too, Jeremy.”

He grunted, shoving his feet into his boots, but he couldn’t stay grumpy for long as Lydia stood, adjusting her long, flowing red shawl. Today was the Camp Christmas Festival at Escape Shores Campground, and it was all hands on deck.

But Jeremy refused to be an elf hand.

“Miles can wear the damn tights.”

“Miles is on elf strike, too.”

“Can’t Pete and Sandy find some local kids to play the elves?”

“The little kids still believe in Santa.”

“Then find some teens to do it.”

“Too jaded. Plus, they’re all busy with final exams and sports.”

“Get Ed and Madge up here. They can be elves.”

“Grandma did it for years. It’s too cold, Jeremy. They can’t be outside for hours like that.”

“I will not be guilted into this.”

Just then, the front door to their cabin creaked open, Mike entering the living room.

Wearing… a Santa suit.
