My name is Timberly Day. I don’t drink, but I do know things.   I know the heart beats over 100,000 times per day.   I know for every one second, lightning strikes the Earth 100 times.     I also know that Jaxon King—the bloody tosser!—is a muddler.   A manipulator. A liar. A con, a thief...and a closet nerd.  He’s as beautiful as innocence, as harmless as a feather.   Except, it’s all an illusion.     I see him and I see lies. I smell him and I taste deceit.   And still—fool that I am—I rush in.  His eyes are like ice. His tongue is like fire.   His lies are white, but his touch is red hot.     I had the chance to run.  I didn’t.   Now, I am a part of the game.  And the only way to win...is to give in.
