Kinetic: Valemont Vultures, Book 1

By Danna Lynn Matthews

Cassie Walsh knows that safety is an illusion. After a childhood abduction left her with physical scars and a shattered sense of security, she's spent years building walls that no one can climb. She's intellectual, cautious, and determined to stay invisible at Valemont University.

Then she's forced to move into a house with three elite football players, and her carefully constructed world begins to crumble. Specifically because of him: Alex Hansen.

Alex is the star of the Valemont Vultures football team. He's charismatic, obsessive, and dangerously possessive. Raised in a household where legacy was the only priority, he's spent his life destroying obstacles to get what he wants. And right now, he wants the girl who refuses to look at him.

What Cassie views as an arrogant jock's harassment is actually a relentless, dark pursuit. Alex doesn't just want to date her; he wants to own her. As the forced proximity pushes them together, Cassie must decide if the man who scares her most is the only one who can truly see her--or if his obsession will be the thing that finally breaks her.

In a world of secrets, lies, and the price of power, can their brokenness finally find a way to heal? Or is some kinetic energy meant to collide and destroy them?

Kinetic is a high-heat, dark university romance and the first book in the Valemont Vultures series. It features forced proximity, a grumpy/sunshine dynamic, and an obsessive hero who will stop at nothing to get the girl.
