A Note from the Authors

Whatever It Takes is a New Adult romance. Even though the characters are 17 for much of the novel, we do not consider this book Young Adult. Whatever It Takes contains mature language and graphic sexual content and is recommended for readers 18+.

Also to note: Wakefield University is a fictional school set in London that has a high matriculation of International students and uses a semester-based curriculum. Since Willow is American, she uses many colloquial American terms for university (for example: referring to her room as a dorm) that UK students might not use.

CONTENT WARNING

This book contains graphic scenes of physical abuse from older brothers to a younger brother and verbal abuse that may be upsetting to some readers.

“It’s the oldest story in the world.

One day you’re 17 and planning for someday.

And then, quietly, and without you ever really noticing, someday is today.

And then someday is yesterday.

And this is your life.”

WILLOW HALE

Age 20

Yesterday I was a virgin.

Today, I’m not.

And I know I’m not “supposed” to put this great big importance on my first time and virginity and all of that, but I didn’t lose it until I was twenty. Having anyone touch me is a big deal. Having someone inside of me…is monumental. Like Thor crashing down during the climax of Avengers: Infinity War.
