Nineteen year old Daniel Colton is the guy all the girls want to date, and the man all the guys want to be. Moody, with an explosive temper, closed off and sullen, he's also beautiful, tatted in delicious ways, with a pierced eyebrow and spiky black hair. It's rumoured he has piercings in other places, too. Is he really mad, bad and dangerous to know? Daniel lives with his older brother, Zef, and their home is party central. You want drugs, a good time, liquor, no questions asked? Colton's is the place to go. When Daniel and good girl Lisanne Maclaine have to work on together on assignment, Lisanne finds there's a lot more to the college's bad boy than his reputation. He's intelligent and funny and good company. And then she discovers his secret, why he's so closed off to everyone, and determined to keep people at arms' length. But being his secret-keeper is harder than she ever dreamed.
