Bøger af Amy Katherine

She doesn't feel the water engulfing her in that hushed void, silencing her muted screams, dragging her down. She's drowning, all right. She doesn't see it, but he does.Amy Emerson is midway through her first college semester, unprepared and overworked. She's abiding her time in class all day and shaking up drinks, bartending all night. Oh, and that insolent bar bouncer, her boss, the one that looks exactly like Superman, yeah she has fallen for him. Matthew Abernathy knows he's in love with her. But he's also noticed her protruding hip bones, heavy course load, and tendency to avoid food, and to self deprecate. Superman knows something about mental illness and when he looks at her, he sees the war flashing behind her soft oceanic eyes. Sometimes when he's angry, he does 100 pull-ups until his calluses open up and he's bleeding, red lines running down his forearms. But he's more in control now. Disciplined and determined, this unconventional superhero has pledged to help her overcome her demons. But how far will he go for love?Their heads leaning close in hushed conversation, he cups her face in his huge hands, his thumb wiping under her eyes, and tells her what she needs to hear. The words he whispers in her ear become her voice, and she learns to become her own superhero.

Despite their memorable rough start, it was Matt who held her in his arms that night in the taxi, pulling a seatbelt over them both as she sobbed, and it was her who tried to wipe the blood seeping through his shirt and into hers. Maybe he wasn't this premier villain she had imagined all along. But does she have the courage to find out?Seventeen-year-old Amy Emerson has just been granted a scholarship, enrolled in her first semester of college classes, and has been hired for a highly coveted bartending job in Austin, Texas. It is almost as if the world has been handed to her on a silver platter -- polished and waiting. So, what is standing in her way? Or whom? Matthew Abernathy is a no-nonsense bouncer and graduate student from the Texas Hill Country with an intimidating glare, a high tolerance for hot sauce, and an immense dislike for anything that goes against his code of honor. Oh, and he looks just like Superman, and laughs like Santa, which isn't helping things. Will Amy eventually figure him out, or will it be a disastrous emotional entanglement from the start? Only time will tell, as this coming-of-age love story unfurls into an intriguing, compulsively readable, unstoppable new series.
