Book Title: Shattered Ties
Author: K.A. Robinson
Date of Publication: November 12, 2013
With
a former supermodel mother and a rock-and-roll legend father, Emma Preston has
the best of everything. Nothing is as perfect as it seems though. After her
parents divorce, she’s forced to live with her mother in a private Santa Monica
community. Ignoring their parental roles, her mother becomes more focused on
climbing the social ladder while her father is off on tour.
Growing up in a trailer park with his mother, Jesse is used to people looking down on him. When his mother begs him to submit an application for a scholarship to one of Santa Monica’s top private schools, he never expects to actually get it. When he does, he is forced to attend school with a bunch of rich kids. He ignores their stares as they judge him for having tattoos and a less than impressive car. As long as he has his surfboard and the guys at the tattoo shop, he knows he can make it through.
When Jesse shows up on the first day of school, Emma can’t help but be intrigued. Her mother would never approve of Emma talking to someone so poor, but she doesn’t care because something about Jesse draws her to him.
Jesse tries to hate Emma, but he discovers that he can’t resist her. Forced to hide their relationship from Emma’s mother and everyone else around them, things start to fall apart. When Jesse’s friend, Ally, decides to interfere, things go from bad to worse.
Can they survive their first love? Or will they be left with nothing more than shattered ties?

I pulled myself back to the present as I followed Emma down
the aisle to sit with her friends. I had purposely stopped to talk to her
outside this morning, hoping that she would remember me. Of course, she hadn’t,
but I had been shocked at how nice she was then and again in our first period.
I had expected a stuck-up bitch, but instead, she had helped me, and she’d even
been friendly to me. I wasn’t sure if I liked that. I had always portrayed her
as a villain in my mind, and without it there to make me see reason, I couldn’t
help but notice again just how beautiful she was.
She was obviously an athlete of some kind. Her body was
toned, and she had been blessed with a figure most girls could only dream of.
The skin-tight shirt and shorty shorts she was wearing today did nothing to
hide it, and I found myself wanting to see what was underneath. I blamed my
damn teenage hormones as I tried to get a grip on myself. This would lead to
nowhere, so I needed to get my head back into the game. I was here to get good
grades and hopefully a scholarship, not stare at Emma’s ass like I was doing
right now.
