Burn Into Me: Book 1

By Jillian Leeson

One word describes Elle: tough. Fending for herself since she was sixteen, she is a college student who lives in one of the roughest parts of Harlem. She is also a political activist who is devoted to her cause, the battle against capitalism. 

Ryder is her polar opposite. He is the ultimate capitalist—a Wall Street fund manager who makes money by managing other people’s money. An adrenaline junkie through and through, he works hard and plays hard. Relationships and commitment don’t fit into his fast and furious lifestyle.

They both live in New York City, only nine miles apart, and the lives they lead couldn’t be more different. But the instant, burning attraction they feel for one another when they meet at a motorbike drag race, makes their worlds collide. 

Feelings or not, there is no way in hell Elle will ever get involved with a guy, especially not with one as cocky, hot, and gorgeous as Ryder. 

But what will she do when he offers her a challenge that will change her life?

About the Author

Elle

I think I’m lesbian.

I study my sister’s face as I say this, and am handsomely rewarded when her eyes grow round as saucers. And that’s saying something when they’re normally almond-shaped, just like our mother, who is Chinese.

Rose is two years older than me, and she’s got the straight-A college-student look down pat, complete with black-rimmed glasses and a stack of textbooks spilling out of her bag. I laugh when I see sparks shooting from her eyes.

You. Are. Not. Her tone is that of the oldest-sister-knows-better, even though she knows that drives me up the wall, and more than once propelled me to do the exact opposite of her sisterly commands. You’ve always liked boys. Even if you like to toss them aside after use.
