About this ebook

Welcome to Panic, a sultry Miami nightclub where bodies and hearts move to a beat that doesn’t stop at sunrise—the setting for “a magnificent story full of deep emotion” (Sawyer Bennett).

Katherine: I thought I could enjoy a night out like a normal person. I thought I could handle the flashing lights, the pulsing music, the crowded dance floor. I couldn’t have been more wrong. After having an anxiety attack and passing out during my sister’s engagement party at Panic, I wake up in the arms of the hottest guy I’ve ever seen. Nick Moreno’s no gentleman. But he might just be the man I need to help me take control of my life.

Nick: When I hear there’s some random girl passed out in the back room of my family’s South Beach nightclub, I’m pissed. My dad’s already behind bars and we can’t afford any more bad press. But after giving her a lift—literally—back to her apartment, I stop seeing Katherine Wilson as some random girl. She’s gorgeous, vulnerable, and braver than she knows. And when we kiss, all I want to do is pull her close and promise that she’ll always be safe in my arms.

No cheating. No cliffhangers. And no dress code.

Ratings and reviews

WOW...this is a powerful emotional roller coaster of a story and these characters stayed with me for days after I finished reading it. The bravery and determination displayed by Katherine gripped my heart. She's a young woman dealing with debilitating anxiety issues but her determination to overcome these issues and live life is a thing of beauty. Watching Nico's gruff hardened exterior crumble as he really got to know Katherine was also heartwarming. The kindness he shows her and the care he takes with her brought tears to my eyes. The author did an amazing job with this story and the delicate subject matter that it tackles. I could almost feel Katherine's emotions through the pages. If your looking for an emotionally charged but upbeat book, look no further. This one is for you! Put this one high on the must read list!! I highly recommend it.

This was an amazing start to the series!! Katherine passes out from a panic attack at Panic during her sister's engagement party. She was sure that she could handle the night out but the crowd, the lights, and the noise prove to be more than she can take. Nick assumes that the only reason that she would pass out in the middle of the club is because she's on drugs. He's determined to avoid any more bad press so he takes her home and is ready to just walk away and forget all about her. Except she's not just another junkie and after spending time together, he's ready to show her that she's braver than she realizes and that he will do everything he can to make her feel safe. An amazing amount of research was done by the author for this book. Oftentimes when depression, anxiety, and PTSD are written about, the stigma and misconceptions surrounding these disorders are perpetuated. That did not happen in this book. Katherine's PTSD has turned her into a recluse but she is still strong and is doing the work to reach her recovery. Nick was so supportive but realistic. He was upfront with Katherine about his needs in their relationship. I was so connected to and invested in these characters. Once I started the book, I wasn't able to put it down. I'm really looking forward to Matt's story!! *This is a voluntary review of an Advanced Reader Copy*

Love her books!!! Loved how she incorporated Iggy from the worth the fight series.. Can't wait for the rest of this series.. got me hooked
