Virgin? Check.New Life? Double Check.Grifter? Triple Check.Look, it's not like I have a choice about being born into a family of conmen, or women- technically. A girl's got to survive, and by the looks of the new town I'm forced into, it's time to step up my game. It doesn't take long to survey my prey, steal a souvenir, and get stopped by a panty-melting local who steals a kiss. That kiss is poison. Not really, but the emotional kind that forces me to face the fact. If I give up my precious v-card to a guy, he's the kind who would take it. Dangerous. Sexy as hell and just as deadly. Distracting enough that I somehow managed to get caught... but will I escape?Savage Start is an enemies-to-lovers, new adult bully romance novella with plenty of angst, and the prequel to Riley and Cole's duet Savage Lies and Savage Truth. This book contains mature content that some readers may find disturbing. It is not a standalone and does end in a cliffhanger that continues with Savage Lies.
