Being a twenty-one-year-old screw-up has its perks: Sleepwalk through class. Drink all day. Nail anything that walks.
Easy f#*$ing peasy.
In another lifetime, I was the fastest guy at Fielding College. I broke more track records than anyone on the West Coast. But since my world fell apart last year, all I want is to be left the hell alone.
Ariel Hastings isn't just a wrench in that plan—she’s a bomb. The quiet girl with secrets shows up out of nowhere and suddenly our fates are tied together. She wants to run with me, learn from me, even live with me.
Now we’re spending way too much time together and it’s threatening to bring back the old Chase Owens. I crave something she won’t give me and I sure as hell can’t ask for.
Because we’ve both got pasts that won’t let go. Even if I can survive hers, we can’t outrun mine.

CHASED is a steamy, dramatic and sometimes over-the-top romance about college track stars. It includes 2 parts (approx 35k words each) with an HEA. If you read Part 1 you’ll want to pick up Part 2. It’s mostly male POV with f-bombs and steamy scenes. For 18+. If you love college romance, sassy dialogue, or long runs, get CHASED.
“Say it. ‘Chase, you have the sexiest abs west of Texas’.”
I think I’ve misheard him, but from the smug expression on his face I know he’s serious. How can he be so totally cool when I’m squirming like a worm on a hook? His words make me flush, and dammit, he’s enjoying this.
The thing is, he does have the best abs I’ve ever seen. Not that I go around gawking at shirtless guys at the beach. But if the lines defining Chase’s stomach, the ones leading down below the button on his jeans, are something every guys has…
Maybe I’d do it more often.
“I’m waiting.”
“You’ll be waiting a long time.”
Chase cocks his head like he’s being completely reasonable and I’m the nuts one. “Come on. You sleep at my house, take over my workout, then watch me strip? You got a privileged view and I haven’t heard a damn bit of feedback on it.”
I glare.
He grins.
“Chase, you have the…sexiest abs west of Texas.”
His expression darkens. “That one’s definitely getting brought out again some cold night.”

I love reading and writing about sassy, sexy, smart women and the guys who fall hard for them. Schooled is the introduction to my Travesty series about ambitious girls who chase their dreams of a fashion label from California to New York and back again.
My main household expenditures include books, coffee and chocolate, not necessarily in that order. Coffee = life (and I'll defend it accordingly). I have two business degrees, neither of which I've leveraged into a fashion label.
Home is Canada plus occasional sunny winter escapes. Come find me on the tennis court, at the beach, on the web at www.piperlawsonbooks.com or on twitter @piperjlawson
