Publisher's Synopsis
"Maybe promises are supposed to hurt a little." Amelia Bright has lots of plans for the future, and none of them involve falling for a guy like Sebastian Holbrook. With a questionable reputation and an attitude to match, he's exactly the kind of guy Amelia promised herself she'd avoid. But after an encounter that leaves her charged and breathless, she can't stop wondering about him and the secrets he keeps hidden behind that tough exterior. Sebastian knows firsthand that every single choice has a consequence and how a fragile promise can shape a life. Now that his mother is gone and he's raising his little brother on his own, he's all but given up on a future for himself. Struggling to keep food on the table and a roof over their heads, Sebastian doesn't have time for games or girls. So why can't he shake thoughts of beautiful, smart Amelia Bright from his mind? Equally devastating and heartfelt, Amelia and Sebastian's story of a rare and unexpected connection is one that will stay with you long after the last page is read. Full of wit and tenderness, The Bright Effect is an unforgettable journey of expectations, regrets and discovering just how far love can carry us in the face of heartbreak.
