"Helen. What a sweet name for a girl who is anything but."
The first time I laid eyes on Theo Whitlock, I chased him and his frat boy friends with a bat. I'm no white knight. I'm broke. He's rich. I destroyed his car. He chooses not to rat me out. I was never supposed to go to college, but especially not one like Savage U, where only the wealthiest need apply. One might call this a lucky break, only I don't feel so lucky with a drug dealer breathing down my neck, and a gangster threatening to burn my house down. "You have a face that could launch a thousand ships." Theo and I don't make sense, but being with him feels good, and I need more than my books and classes to distract me from the chaos and violence in my life. "I know you're my good girl. Aren't you, Helen? Tell me." We're casual. No complications. We have to be. I'm keeping secrets, and I have a feeling behind Theo Whitlock's twinkly blue eyes is a whole world of darkness. "Do you think about me?" Too much… "Did I hurt you?" He will...if the other savages don't get to me first. Soft Like Thunder is a dark college romance that explores mature themes and dubious situations. In includes a badass heroine, bad guys, and a satisfying happily ever after.
