By the time I hit Send on the email my head is pounding, the words are swimming and I can barely keep my eyes open. It’s 11:51. Nancy will be there by now, William will make sure his father signs and everything is taken care of.

This is what I live for
, I think, covering my mouth as another yawn hits. I love being the first one in and the last one to leave. The quiet office feels like it’s all mine, and I spin in my seat to look out at the dark city, the moon reflecting off a window across the street as though it had been hung there just for me.

UNDECIDED

Nora Kincaid has one goal for her second year of college: be invisible. Last year’s all-party-no-study strategy resulted in three failed classes and two criminal charges, and if she messes up again she’ll lose her scholarship. But there’s one problem with her plan for invisibility, and his name is Crosbie Lucas: infamous party king, general hellraiser...and her new roommate’s best friend.

Crosbie’s reckless reputation and well-known sexcapades aren’t part of Nora’s studious new strategy, but as she’s quickly learning, her new plan is also really
boring.
When Crosbie’s unexpected gestures of friendship pull her head out of her books long enough to see past his cocky veneer, she’s surprised to find a flawed and funny guy beneath it all. The muscles don’t hurt, either.

But as Nora starts to fall for Crosbie, the weight of one of last year’s bad decisions grows even heavier. Because three failing grades and two misdemeanors are nothing compared to the one big secret she’s hiding...

Acknowledgments

As ever, I am hugely grateful to all the wonderful people at Carina Press for their work on and faith in the Time Served series. These books feature imperfect characters doing imperfect things, and I’m so fortunate to have found an editor who is absolutely okay with that. An enormous and endless thank-you to Kerri Buckley for her encouragement, intelligence and thoughtfulness.

Sitting in front of a computer filling a blank screen with words is both thrilling and terrifying, and hearing from readers makes it worth all the hair-pulling. Your support and feedback are so sincere and reaffirming, and I am forever astounded and humbled that you choose to read my books. Thank you for being amazing.

About the Author

Julianna Keyes is a Canadian writer who has lived on both coasts and several places in between. She’s been skydiving, bungee jumping and white-water rafting, but nothing thrills—or terrifies—her as much as the blank page. She loves Chinese food, foreign languages, baseball and television, though not necessarily in that order, and writes sizzling stories with strong characters, plenty of conflict and lots of making up.

In addition to
The Good Fight
, she is the author of four contemporary romances:
Just Once
, the story of a world-weary socialite and a stubborn ranch foreman;
Going the Distance
, a love story set in China between a kindergarten ESL teacher and a former army interrogator;
Time Served
, the tale of an ambitious young lawyer whose perfect world is jeopardized when she reunites with her ex-con ex-boyfriend; and
In Her Defense
, in which a ruthless young lawyer realizes there’s more to life than being the best…right? Her first new-adult romance,
Undecided
, was published in April 2016.

DIDN’T I WARN YOU
by Amber Bardan

Not everything dangerous is bad.

From the moment Angelina laid eyes on him, she fell into a fantasy. Mysterious, foreign, gorgeous, Haithem offered her what she needed most—a chance to feel again. But he lives in a world of danger where everything comes at a price…and she was warned.

“This is a darkly seductive Beauty & the Beast romance that will give you goose bumps.”

—Smart Bitches, Trashy Books
