He told me to 'settle, girl.'
He asked if 'something was wrong with me?'
He said I was an ‘easy target.’
That was within minutes when I first met Caden Banks.
I labeled him an *sshole, but he was more than that. Arrogant. Smug. Alpha.
He was also to-die-for gorgeous, and my stepbrother’s fraternity brother.
Okay, yes I was a little naive, a tad bit socially awkward, and the smallest amount of stalker-ish, but if Caden Banks thought he could tell me what to do, he had another thing coming.
I came to college with daydreams about being with my stepbrother, but what would happen if I fell for the anti-stepbrother instead?

Excerpt
He wasn’t looking at me any more. I wasn’t even sure he was really in the room.
I needed to leave this alone. He had given me the clues—looking away, his jaw clenching, pain like I’d never heard from him sounding loud and clear. My instincts were telling me to shut up, but I couldn’t. I had this burning need to know more about Caden. I needed to get in there, past his walls, and I wanted to understand him.
I wanted to help him.
Caden was hurting, and I wanted to take that away.
“What happened?”
Caden turned his gaze to me now, and I felt branded by the pain I saw. His eyes were stricken. “Does it matter?”
“No.” My breath caught and held in my chest. I wanted to go to him, but I also wanted to slink away. I was stirring up his pain, but I had to know. “What happened, Caden?”
“Why do you have to know?”
“Because it’s hurting you.”
I made a decision, though I had no idea what the ramifications were going to be. I stood, my legs going numb and my stomach clenching, and I moved to his side. He leaned back, his head falling to the couch, and he watched me.
The need to ease some of his hurt outweighed the fear of what would happen next. Swallowing tightly, I stepped over to straddle him and sat down.
“What are you doing?”
He asked that softly, still holding his beer. I took it from his hands and put it on the stand next to the couch. Then I just sat there. He had to do the rest. I’d already made the first move.
I glanced down at his hands, feeling like an idiot. “What happened?”
“Why are you pushing this?”
I looked back up to find confusion warring with need in his eyes. He wasn’t pushing me away, so I sank further into his lap.
“You haven’t told anyone else about this.” It wasn’t really a question, but I saw the confirmation in his eyes. My chest tightened, thinking about whatever secret he held. “Please tell me.”
“No.” He shifted forward, and I braced myself, expecting him to push me away. He didn’t. His hands grasped the backs of my legs and lifted me so I was more fully on his lap.
I could feel him between my legs, and my breasts almost pressed against his chest. I waited. I wanted to see what else he’d say
“But not because I don’t want you to know,” he added. “Because it’s not my secret to tell.”
I nodded, my stomach doing somersaults now. “That makes sense. I can respect that.”
And there we were. His hands cupped my ass, and the pain in his gaze became something darker, something I felt too, something that began to turn off all rational thought.
“What are we doing here?” he questioned, his voice like a caress in itself.
I leaned forward, my gaze lingering on his lips. “I didn’t really think it through.”
“And now?”
“Still not thinking it through.”
“You’re okay with that?”
In that moment, the truth exploded in me. I wanted him. I wanted this—but it was more. I needed this.
I didn’t answer.
I closed the distance between us.
Author Information
I didn't begin writing until after undergraduate college. There'd been storylines and characters in my head all my life, but it came to a boiling point one day and I HAD to get them out of me. So the computer was booted up and I FINALLY felt it click. Writing is what I needed to do. After that, I had to teach myself how to write. I can't blame my teachers for not teaching me all those years in school. It was my fault. I was one of the students that was wishing I was anywhere but at school! So after that day, it took me lots of work until I was able to put together something that resembled a novel. I'm hoping I got it right since someone must be reading this profile! And I hope you keep enjoying my future stories.

UNITED INDIE BOOK BLOG REVIEW
REVIEWER: MICHELLE
RATING: 5 STARS
Gahh, this book was so good!!
If you're a Tijan fan...you need this book.
If you've never read any of Tijans books...you need this book.
A great book full of angst, drama, friendship, heartache and lots, and lots of sexual tension.
When Summers dad married the most popular guy in schools mom, She thought that it was a sign. She had the biggest crush on Kevin for as long as she could remember. As did everyone else in her high school. She would watch him bring countless girlfriends around and be ignored by him almost the entire year they lived together before he left for college. That all changed the night he came back for her graduation.
Now that Summer has graduated and will be attending the same college as Kevin, she goes there with the hopes of finally being with the boy who has had her heart for so many years. What she wasn't expecting to find upon arriving is hearing Kevin profess his love to his girlfriend on the phone. Nor did she expect Caden. The sexy, formidable, fraternity brother of Kevin's.
**Holy shit, Asshole Caden was confident with an extra layer of authority too. It rolled off him in waves, very sexy and alluring waves, and I couldn’t believe I was having these thoughts.
**His ass was one I’d cup in a drunken stupor and smile from satisfaction at the memory when I was sober.
When Summer first meets Caden, she labels him an Asshole, and that's what she calls him. But, the more time she spends with him, she sees something more in him than his muscles, sexiness and crass personality. They soon become good friends, spending a lot of time together, making Summer the envy of a lot of girls in her dorm.
Things soon heat up between Caden and Summer, and that makes Kevin come around more. Which stirs up repressed feelings Summer has towards him. And cause a whole lot of drama as well. Such a tangled web they weave.
Summer must soon decide what it is her heart truly wants.
This book was so full of drama, I loved every second of it! Tijan did a great job of creating a fantastic cast of characters. Some you'll love and some you will hate. But that makes the best kinds of stories.
Kevin....well, I'm not going to say about his character, I'll let you decide on him yourself.
Caden...holy smokes that man is like every girls wet dream. Sexy, protective and all Alpha!!
Avery, who is Summers RA and quickly becomes one of her best friends. I like her character as well, she cared a lot of Summer and always tried to be a great friend to her when she needed one.
Summer was a great character too, albeit a little naive and at times seems a tad ditzy at times having never really been in a relationship before, but man oh man, she can be pretty bad@ss too!!
**-- She’d huffed, sucking in a breath, but before she could blast me again, I held my hand out. “I don’t give a f#ck. Get away before you piss me off.”
Lol!! That was an epic Summer moment, I loved it!
THANK YOU!
