​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.
