They say you have to kiss a lot of frogs, but what if a prince shows up . . . When a prince—not the kind who wears a crown—swoops in to rescue me, I kiss him before I even ask his name. I’m sure I’ve given him the wrong impression, and he’ll bolt away like a cat out of a bathtub. Except he keeps showing up. Maybe fairy tales are real. We all know they aren't.

Never date your brother’s best friend. There is one guy on my ‘do not date’ list. Zach Gallagher. It’s not that I’m not attracted to him. Because I’ve been crushing on him since I was ten.

How can a good guy make me want to break all my rules? I have three rules. One I learned as a child, and the others I learned running my lingerie store. But even following my rules, I can’t seem to meet the right kinds of guys. I only attract bad boys, and I’m sick of it. When the gorgeous but incredibly shy deputy has me inadvertently breaking rule 1, I change my dating strategy. If bad boys seek me out, maybe it’s time I set my sights on a good guy. And, yes, the deputy with dazzling green eyes and heart-melting smile qualifies. As for the rule-breaking, it was a one-time thing. Eli barely speaks to me, but I’m up to the challenge. Then I break another rule for him and start to question my assumption about good guys.

More Than an Ex-Girlfriend

Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
I’ve been avoiding my ex. More like hiding from him, but that’s just semantics. But hiding isn’t possible now that he’s my new neighbor. We dated all through high school, but then the day after graduation, I ended things, which I know broke his heart. But at the time, I thought I was making the best choice. Now I regret it. Actually, I’ve regretted it for a while. Pretty much since the day we said goodbye. As much as I want to apologize and make things right—if that’s even possible—I’m afraid to face him. And telling him why I broke up with him will crush him. Clinging to the old adage that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, I spend an entire night making him cookies. Apologies go better with cookies, I think. At least I hope so.
