Wanna be my lover
When Ophelia and Maddox meet at Bellwater University in Cape May, each recognises a familiar pain in the other. Ophelia is a talented dancer whose radiant "good girl" smile hides a darkness she has not admitted even to herself. Maddox hopes to build a career as a professional boxer, but his years with the Navy SEALs left him a hard man, quicker with his fists than his words.
As a longing, explosive closeness grows between them, Ophelia's past comes to light — and threatens to destroy the fragile bond they have built.
"Wanna be my lover" opens Ayla Dade's Summer Dreams series, a 1990s-set New Adult romance from the SPIEGEL-bestselling author of Winter Dreams.
Readers familiar with the author's Winter Dreams series will find thematic similarities in the emotional depth and character-driven storytelling, though this novel functions as the start of a new, independent series.
