The Penetration Test (ePub)

Hailey makes epically bad dating choices. Losers, jerks, unrepentant bad boys - she loves them all. It keeps things simple - when she knows the relationships will fail, she doesn't have to put her heart on the line. After all, if you never risk anything, you can't get hurt. And the hurts in her past are quite enough, thank you very much.

When Hailey's BFF intervenes and puts her on dating probation, she agrees to ditch dating and stick to no-strings-attached flings for a while. Who needs commitment when you have an inbox full of messages from would-be hook-ups, two awesome BFFs, several bottles of wine and episodes of Bridezilla at the ready? But a chance encounter with a mysterious, tattooed surfer (and his unbearably sexy arrogance) turns her plans, and her world upside-down.

Ryder keeps his life simple and drama-free. He avoids relationships because caring and being connected to others causes pain. It makes messes that can't be cleaned up, inflicts wounds that never heal. And that's why it's best to avoid it. But when Hailey appears in his life, his normal resolve to stay cool and detached is tested in every possible way. He sees echoes of his own pain in her and wants to move closer, but his own fears keep him at arms length, time and time again.

Is it possible for Ryder and Hailey to have a happily ever after? Dive into The Penetration Test, a sexy, steamy romantic comedy about friendship, love, and trust. Inside these covers you'll find a smoldering hot bad boy, a trio of zany BFFs, jokes about punching sharks, and a window into life in California's famous Silicon Valley.
