Lacná kniha Počkám na tebe (Série Wait For You 1) (-90%)
Na něco se vyplatí si počkat…
Devatenáctiletá Avery Morganstenová nastupuje na malou univerzitu v Západní Virginii, tisíce kilometrů od domova. Domnívá se, že vzdálenost jí pomůže uniknout před tím, co se jí stalo na halloweenském večírku před pěti lety, kdy se její život navždy změnil. Nyní jen musí chodit včas na vyučování, nosit na levém zápěstí náramek, nepřitahovat k sobě zbytečnou pozornost a možná si najít pár přátel, protože to by byla příjemná změna. Rozhodně ale nepotřebovala a neměla v úmyslu přitáhnout pozornost jediného kluka, jenž by mohl otřást nejistou budoucností, kterou si pro sebe naplánovala.
Něco se vyplatí prožít…
Cameron Hamilton je metr devadesát vysoký sexy bůh s oslnivě modrýma očima, jemuž ženy padají k nohám. Má pozoruhodnou schopnost vyvolávat v Avery touhy, o nichž se domnívala, že jsou jí už navždy zapovězeny. Uvědomuje si, že se od něj musí držet dál, ale okouzlující a vtipný Cam s tím zatraceným dolíčkem na tváři se objevuje všude, kam se pohne. Zaplést se s ním je nebezpečné, ale když jiskřivé napětí, které je zachvátí pokaždé, jakmile se ocitnou spolu, už nelze dál přehlížet, probudí Cam v Avery něco, o čem neměla tušení, že v ní dřímá.
O něčem by se nikdy nemělo mlčet…
Když však Avery obdrží několik výhružných zpráv a telefonátů, nemá na vybranou a musí se postavit čelem minulosti, kterou toužila pohřbít. Někdo jí totiž odmítá dovolit, aby zapomněla na tu noc, kdy se všechno změnilo. Až zničující pravda vyjde najevo, vydrápe se z ní Avery tentokrát bez jizev? A bude tu Cameron pro ni, aby jí pomohl, nebo ho stáhne s sebou do propasti?
Za něco se vyplatí bojovat…
