No one knows what happened the night Echo Emerson went from popular girl with jock boyfriend to gossiped-about outsider with "freaky" scars on her arms. Even Echo can't remember the whole truth of that horrible night. All she knows is that she wants everything to go back to normal.But when Noah Hutchins, the smoking-hot, girl-using loner in the black leather jacket, explodes into her life with his tough attitude and surprising understanding, Echo's world shifts in ways she could never have imagined. They should have nothing in common. And with the secrets they both keep, being together is pretty much impossible.
Yet the crazy attraction between them refuses to go away. And Echo has to ask herself just how far they can push the limits and what she'll risk for the one guy who might teach her how to love again.

The Insider's Scoop
This is a small portion of two chapters I ended up deleting from Pushing the Limits. The ending of Echo's chapter...
“Echo!” Luke said in alarm behind me right as I rammed into a wall of solid muscle. My eyes drifted up and I was greeted to twinkling dark brown eyes and a wicked grin that stirred my soul. Double freaking crap.
Noah
The smile stretched across my lips the moment Echo’s eyes met mine and they stretched even wider when she swallowed and stuttered out some words. “Hi, Noah. I mean sorry. You know. For running into you.”
“We’re good.” Very good. She could stand this close to me anytime.
Echo sucked in a breath as she drew her eyes away from me and took a huge step back. “What are you doing here?”
“Five dollar pizza.” Two larges for eight dollars. Isaiah, Beth, and I would starve without that meal deal from this place and the leftovers I brought home from work.
“Yeah.” She overly shrugged. "Of course.”
I chuckled at her poor attempt at nonchalant and loved when her cheeks turned bright red.
A shadow stepping near Echo caught my attention and caused my muscles to tense, preparing for an attack. Part of me relaxed when I noticed Echo’s overgrown ape boyfriend hovering behind her.
“When did you two become friendly?” Luke asked.
Echo angled her body so that she stood between me and the ape. “Oh, it’s okay, Luke. I began t…” Her mouth formed the u to finish the word tutoring and she trailed off while giving me a quick glance under her eyelashes. “We’re…uh…working…together…um…on…”
Echo’s eyes blinked like a man caught in a hurricane at sea. Damn, this girl couldn’t lie and a part of me softened that she was willing to lie to save face for me. “She’s tutoring me.”
