December 1, 2014
International School Book 3
New Adult Contemporary Romance
On the surface, Fleur Marceaux has it all.
If only the facade matched reality. With one year left at the International
School in London, Fleur’s struggling to graduate, her love life is a mess, and
she can’t stop thinking about Max, her ex-boyfriend’s best friend. But all that
pales compared to the blackmailer determined to destroy her.
There’s a social hierarchy at the
International School and Max Tucker is outside the velvet ropes. After watching
Fleur break his friend’s heart, Max knows to stay away from trouble, despite
the crush he’s had on her since freshman year. But when they’re partnered on a
project, Max learns there’s more to Fleur than meets the eye, and she just
might be worth the wild ride.
The more time they spend together, the further
Max falls. And when a kiss awakens a passion Fleur never imagined, she’s unable
to resist Max, who she had thought was all wrong for her but might be the only
thing that’s right. But will he stand by her when her secrets are revealed?
Don’t miss the final book in the
International School series. This New Adult romance is recommended for readers
17 and up.
Excerpt 1:
I noticed her perfume before I
saw her. It smelled of flowers, and money, and seduction in a scent I’d never
smelled on anyone else. Likely never would. It figured she’d have a signature
perfume or something like that. And then I saw her, and like always, it took a
moment to adjust to her beauty.
She was almost too beautiful.
Maybe that sounded stupid, but there wasn’t another way to describe it. It was
like that moment when you first turned on a light, and it was so bright that it
was nearly blinding—and not in a good way. Fleur wore her beauty like a weapon,
slicing through mere mortals with a careless arc, leaving destruction in its
wake.
She could do with some
imperfections—her nose a bit bigger, her lips less full, her hair less shiny.
Something, anything to make her look
like a real person. Anything to make wanting her ache less, to ease the thrust
of it that left me completely skewered.
I would have understood my
attraction to her if I’d been one of those guys who got off on being with a hot
girl. I mean, sure, I could appreciate a Maxim
spread as much as the next guy, but looks had never been my primary motivating
factor. Was it nice to have something pretty to look at? Absolutely. Did that
get boring after a couple minutes? Yeah, it did.
If all of my past girlfriends
had one common denominator, it was that they were all smart—a little nerdy,
like me. I fit with the kind of girls who liked sci-fi movies and video games.
Chill girls who didn’t spend an hour doing their hair and makeup or own more
pairs of shoes than there were days in the month. And yet, as Fleur slid into
the seat across from mine, apple in hand, my pulse picked up and everything
else stood at attention.

Originally a Florida girl, CHANEL CLEETON
moved to London where she received a bachelor’s degree from Richmond, The
American International University in London and a master’s degree from the
London School of Economics and Political Science. Chanel fell in love with
London and planned to stay there forever, until fate intervened on a Caribbean
cruise and a fighter pilot with smooth dance moves swept her off her feet. Now,
a happily ever after later, Chanel is living her next adventure in Asia.
Law school made Chanel realize she’d rather
spend her days writing sexy stories than in a courtroom, and she hasn’t looked
back since. An avid reader and hopeless romantic, she’s happiest curled up with
a book. She has a weakness for handbags, her three pups, and her fighter pilot
husband.
She is the author of I SEE LONDON and
LONDON FALLING, published by Harlequin HQN, the upcoming FRENCH KISSED, and
FLIRTING WITH SCANDAL, the first book in a new three-book series to be released
by Penguin/Berkley in 2015.
