Falling for Hadie — Komal Kant

Running away from his old life in New York City, Lincoln Bracks ends up in the small town of Statlen, Iowa. He isn't interested in making friends or getting to know anyone. He just wants to keep his head down and disappear amongst the crowd. That was the plan anyway, until he meets Hadie Swinton. Nursing a broken heart and the realization that the boy she's loved her entire life isn't Prince Charming, Hadie is set against ever falling for the same type of guy again. But when new boy, Lincoln, arrives in town, she discovers that this is easier said than done. Hadie assumes that Lincoln is a typical arrogant jock -- he is good-looking, confident and charming -- but when he doesn't do anything she expects him to, she is intrigued by him against her better judgment. There is definitely more to Lincoln than just a pretty face, but Lincoln is hiding something that he doesn't want anybody to discover because when they do, they will never look at him the same again. Falling in love was the last thing Lincoln wanted to do, so how will he convince himself to fall out of it? Recommended for mature readers aged 17+ due to language and sexual content.
