Hide Me — Lexi Scott

Sometimes it's easier to run...

Ripped apart by guilt and grief, nineteen-year-old Whit Conrad grabs her stuff, runs from her super-conservative family in Pennsylvania, and hauls ass for sunny California. All she wants is escape. But what she gets is a craptastic apartment, a job at a tattoo parlour, and a life that's not her own. Then she meets a sexy, inked surfer who has the potential to capsize everything...

Deo Beckett is adrift. Underemployed and spending his time partying too hard, he knows he should be doing something more with his life. Being something more. All it takes is a pin-up hottie with a smart mouth -- and a bruised soul -- to force Deo to start looking below the surface. To wonder if there's more to life than being a beach bum. Now he's falling for Whit...hard.

But Whit has secrets, and she'll go to any lengths to keep Deo from discovering her past...
