Cover Reveal for Wild Reckless -
a new mature YA romance from Ginger Scott.
Releases March 17th!
Synopsis
Kensington Worth had a vision for her senior year. It involved her best
friends, her posh private school in downtown Chicago and time alone with
her piano until her audition was perfected, a guaranteed ticket into the
best music programs in the world.
Instead, a nightmare took over.
It didn’t happen all at once, but her life unraveled quickly—a tiny thread
that evil somehow kept pulling until everything precious was taken from
her. She was suddenly living miles away from her old life, trapped in an
existence she didn’t choose—one determined to destroy her from the inside,
leaving only hate and anger behind. It didn’t help that her neighbor, the
one whose eyes held danger, was enjoying every second of her fall.
Owen Harper was trouble, his heart wild and his past the kind that’s
spoken about in whispers. And somehow, his path was always intertwined
with Kensington’s, every interaction crushing her, ruining her hope for
any future better than her now. Sometimes, though, what everyone warns is
trouble, is exactly what the heart needs. Owen Harper was consumed with
darkness, and it held onto his soul for years. When Kensington looked at
him, she saw a boy who’d gotten good at taking others down when they
threatened his carefully balanced life. But the more she looked, the more
she saw other things too—good things…things to admire.
Things…to love. Things that made her want to be reckless.
And those things…they were the scariest of all.

Excerpt
I know I
shouldn’t, but I turn around anyway, and I give Owen my full,
undivided attention. His friends have already
left, and he’s slowly
walking backwards, showing me his middle finger
and smiling with that
faint half-grin I’ve seen far too often over the
last three days.
I
don’t know what makes me do it. In fact, I don’t know why I am the way I
am with Owen. I’ve been careful and timid and
obedient my entire life, my
only mission to please everyone—please my
father, Chen, my mother, my
friends, my teachers. Please, please, please,
please, please. That’s all I
do. And all it’s done for me is land me in
Woodstock, away from my friends
and the senior year I was expecting to have. I’m
not pleasing Owen Harper,
too. So I stand with my tray and raise my arm
slowly by my side, my eyes
zeroed in on his until I’m pointing at him. I
close one eye and cock my
head slightly to the right, like I’m making sure
I have him in my
sights—and then I pull the trigger.
“Jesus H
Christ, Kensi! What’s wrong with you?” Willow asks. She pulls my
arm back down, but I keep my eyes on Owen,
staring into his gray-blue
eyes—eyes that look like a wolf’s. “What are you
doing?”
“I’m
starting a war, Willow,” I say, my heart speeding up and my breath
growing more ragged as reality catches up with
me.
I’m
starting a war with a guy who doesn’t lose; a guy who doesn’t play by
the rules.
A guy who scares me, and who knows where
I sleep at night.
