Anna B. Doe It Should Have Been Us: A Small Town, Second Chance Sports Romance (Bluebonnet Creek) Book 1 of 2: Bluebonnet Creek

 

My high school sweetheart, the boy who shattered my heart, is back in our small town, and there will be no avoiding him for the next two weeks…

Only there is nothing boyish about Miguel Fernandez. The NFL’s best rookie defensive end is even more wickedly handsome than he was four years ago—tall, with abs for days, all that unruly hair, and eyes so dark they swallow you whole.

And that’s exactly what he’s doing every time our paths cross.

I shouldn’t let it affect me. After all, there was a good reason why we broke up in the first place. But no matter how much I try to put some distance between us, it’s impossible to stay away when our childhood friends are getting married.

Not only is he attending the wedding. He is in the wedding—the best man to my maid of honor. There will be no escaping the boy who destroyed me completely with his betrayal or stopping the secrets I kept from coming out…

Nicole Baker Where We Fall: A Fake Relationship/Office Romance (The Giannelli Series - Love in Little Italy) Book 3 of 3: The Giannelli Series - Love in Little Italy

 

What do you do when a client threatens to stop doing business with your company because he finds out about a one-night stand you had with his daughter’s friend?

I’ll tell you what my siblings make me do.

They make me take our innocent IT Director with us to the client’s largest fundraising event…as my fake girlfriend.

They think this will help with my image and possibly salvage our relationship with our client.

Lexi is not my usual type at all. She’s shy, doesn’t wear makeup, and her clothes are two sizes too big for her.

But when it comes to fooling our client, he won’t believe it for a second. Not unless she dresses sexier, and maybe wears some makeup.

After I take her to a salon, and buy her some clothes that fit, I’m shocked to find out what’s underneath.

It’s not just her new look that’s throwing me off, it’s the confidence that has come with it.

The more time we spend together, the more I realize it’s not enough.

I want more.

I’ve never spent this much time with a woman before. Perhaps that's the reason I keep thinking of her differently.

It can't be because I've caught...feelings.

Or perhaps the joy of undoing the harm my father caused? It’s definitely an added bonus.

Harlow James Everything But You: Newberry Springs Book 3 (Newberry Springs Series) Book 3 of 3: Newberry Springs Series

 

“Speak now or forever hold your peace.”

I hate that part in a wedding, where everyone waits on pins and needles to see if someone has a reason why the couple shouldn’t get married.

So, when I ran into my high school sweetheart and found out that she was engaged, I said my peace before she ever walked down the aisle.

Shauna and I crossed paths when I went to Las Vegas for work, and sharing one meal with her was enough for me to remember why no other woman has even come close to affecting me the way she did.

But then her fiancé showed up, surprising us both, and I thought I’d lost her for good.

Every dream of our future was sucked from me once more, because this wasn’t the first time she slipped through my fingers. At nineteen, she made decisions that tore us apart, and I was too stubborn to understand why back then.

But it turns out my twin brothers aren’t stupid after all when they convinced me to take one last shot to win her back.

So, I flew back to Vegas, intent on stopping her wedding and telling her how I feel, but it turns out, history was damned to repeat itself again because she walked down the aisle anyway.

Or so I thought.

Because six weeks later she shows up at my parents’ house for a job and there’s one thing that’s noticeably different on her—there’s no ring on her left hand.

I saw my future with her.

I know that’s what I still want.

But it’s hard to face the past when the future is uncertain too.

Can we heal the hurt? Can we find our way back to each other?

And most importantly, can I finally tell her: “I had everything but you.”
