About DROPOUT
A high school reunion is about to get down and dirty and a whole lot more complicated in this new erotic romance from NYT Bestselling Author Carrie Ann Ryan.
Grayson Cleary left town before graduation day and never looked back. Most people back home pegged him as a dropout. Over time, he’s worked to make something of his life and leave his past behind, so when his ten-year reunion comes up, he has no intention of attending. When his best friend begs him to go, Grayson finds himself confronted with a past he’d rather forget and the one woman he’s always craved.
Kate St. Dalton had everything when she left her hometown. Not only was she Valedictorian with a full scholarship, but she was also engaged to the boy of her dreams. Then, life threw a wrench in her plans, and she had to find a way to live the new life fate handed her. The last thing she needs is the hot boy from high school returning to town as the sexy man of her dreams.
When the two take a chance and use the reunion week to burn up the sheets, they’ll have to remember that it’s only for a few nights—not for a lifetime. And decide if what they have is just a fling…or something far more than a mere reunion.

EXCERPT
Kate didn’t know what to say, so she did the only thing she
could— she wiggled out of his hold and straddled his lap, pressing a soft kiss
to his lips.
Grayson’s eyes darkened, and he palmed her butt, his hands
big enough to cover most of her. “You know, if I thought my sad story would
have ended up with this reaction, I’d have told you earlier.”
Kate pushed at his shoulder. “Oh, stop. I’m honored you told
me, Grayson. I’m so pissed off that you went through that and that I was so
self-centered I didn’t know.”
He squeezed her butt. “We didn’t run in the same circles,
and while others were shitty to me, you were always nice. You cared even when
you had so much on your plate. I had such a damned crush on you, and you never
made me feel beneath you.”
She lowered her head. “I wish I would have known about you.
Or at least known more.”
He lifted her chin with his finger. “We found each other
now, Kate. That’s good enough. No use looking into the past when we can’t
change it.”
She blinked back tears for him, for her, for everything they
would lose when the week was over. “It’s reunion weekend, Grayson, looking into
the past is what we do.”
He shook his head. “Others might, but I’m looking at you
right now, and that’s my present.” He kissed her softly. “Damn shame the
future’s about to hit us square in the face, but I’m not letting myself worry
about that when I have you in my arms. You’re my present, Kate, just like I’m
yours.” He cupped her cheeks with his hands and kissed her a bit harder. “I
don’t want to leave,” he whispered, his voice hoarse. “Not tonight, not on
Sunday night.”
A tear slid down her cheek. “I can’t think about Sunday, but
you don’t have to go tonight.” He kissed her again, and she fell against him,
knowing if she thought too much about what was to come after he left, she’d
break.
She’d done the worst thing she could have on reunion
weekend.
She’d found the one thing she’d missed out on when it should
have mattered, and now she knew if she didn’t find a way to stop time, she’d
miss out on him all over again.
