Genres: Contemporary,New Adult,Romance
Anna Parker’s life
disintegrates with one phone call. Her dad’s selling their ritzy New
York City condo because her Wall Street banker mom emptied their bank
account and ran off with another man. Which means Anna has to drop out
of her elite college and move with Dad back to their small Ohio
hometown. Anna’s determined to reclaim her life ASAP, so she’ll use the
next few months to save money, help Dad get back on his feet, and find
and confront her mom.But Anna doesn’t anticipate things going so wrong. The only job she can get is working as a lunch lady in an elementary school. Their money-pit duplex is falling apart around their feet. And her dad is depressed without her mom, who’s proving hard to find.
One bright spot in the chaos is Gavin Metcalf, a kindergarten teacher she dated when they were young teens. With his easy wit and sexy smiles, he makes her forget her stresses—and the fact that her boyfriend Steven back in New York doesn’t know the truth yet about her dire circumstances. When past and present collide, Anna has to decide where her future lies…
“Holy shit,” Bianca breathed into my ear. “Gavin’s staring at you like he wants to eat you alive.”
That
got my blood pumping even more, but I gave her a casual smile without
looking at him to confirm. I was kinda disturbed by how much I wanted to
though. “Huh. That’s interesting.”
The grin she shot me was filled with knowing. “Yeah. It is. You should go say hi.”
“I don’t need to say hi, and I don’t want to.” I raised my arms in the air with the rest of the crowd on the floor.
“Are you afraid?” she challenged.
I scoffed. “Afraid of what?”
“Afraid that the attraction you feel for Gavin is stronger than what you feel for this rich dude you’re dating.”
Shit.
Nailed it in one. My cheeks flamed, and I dropped my arms.
The truth
I’d been trying to run from was thrust right in my face. I could blame
my self-honesty right now on the alcohol buzz, but that wasn’t it. Gavin
drew me closer, even as he aggravated me. Today at work I’d studiously
avoided him while serving. He was a dangerous distraction, a temptation I
couldn’t handle.
I didn’t want to be that girl. One cheater in the family was enough.
Bianca
thrust a few bucks in my hand. “Can you get us water? Talk or don’t
talk to him—I won’t push. But if he’s impacting you this much, you
shouldn’t ignore that to stay with someone who doesn’t put a tingle in
your vajingle.” With a knowing look, she shoved me off the floor.
