Synopsis:
Everyone
has a past, but for most it isn’t so far in the past as Seth Sangre.
His past is literally from thousands of years ago. Seth’s past led him
to the present seeking something that might help him save his country
from destruction. He has been in the present for over three years now
and just found exactly what he has been looking for.
Mari had dreams of college being a fresh start, one where she would start over and not fall for the good looking player like high school. Unfortunately for her that’s exactly what ends up falling into her lap on the first day she moves into the dorms. Now she has to hold to her promise to herself and not fall for the handsome Seth. But he doesn’t plan to make it easy for her. Seth has already marked her as his next conquest. As the semester progresses, Mari learns that Seth might just have a past of his own that’s literally in the past. Suddenly Mari finds her future along with her past put into question. She’s connected to Seth far more than she ever wanted to be and maybe the player isn’t who she thought he was. If Mari can trust her heart enough to follow him, Seth will lead Mari on an adventure of a lifetime and reveal family secrets she never knew existed.

Goodreads:
After turning him down, Seth doesn't give up pursing Mari:
I waited in my room for another twenty minutes and scavenged
silently through all our snacks, nothing good enough to be a meal. I checked
several times, and he was still sitting outside my door. The last time I
checked, he even looked up at the peephole and smiled. I was beginning to feel
like Seth knew I was in my room. When my stomach growled for the tenth time, I
just had to walk out the door and ignore him. It was the only plan I had.
Grabbing my keys and ID, I hurried out the door. It was nice that the doors
were self-locking, and I could just walk away. Seth jumped up and followed me
like a puppy, as Sim had called him.
“Not even going to say hello?” Seth asked. “Do you treat all
your friends that way?” Seth teased and followed close behind me.
“I wasn’t under the impression that we were friends,” I replied.
My plan was to ignore him, but I failed at that.
“Ouch,” Seth answered. “Why can’t I be your friend?”
“You really want to be my friend?” I asked, and he nodded. “Then
stop asking me out.”
“Fair enough,” Seth replied. I eyed him suspiciously. “New
friend, would you mind joining me for supper?” he asked. I shook my head in
disbelief. No way he was giving up that easily after waiting for over an hour
for me to leave my room, but my growling stomach told me I had no choice but to
play his game, whatever it turned out to be.
“Fine,” I replied and kept looking forward rather than at the
cute brown eyes.
“You don’t have to sound excited,” he added with a chuckle.
