***The is a discreet/special edition cover of Soft Like Thunder with special interior formatting*** 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.
