Aria Adkins only cares about three things: 1.) the bills piling up on her kitchen counter. 2.) getting her sister out of their dead-end hometown and off to college. 3.) keeping the bottle of Jim Beam out of her heartbroken, alcoholic mother's reach. Closed-off and content as one can be with a never ending routine of crappy part-time jobs and the task of cleaning up broken whiskey bottles, Aria is used to dealing with things by herself; especially after her father runs off and she's forced to step up to the plate and solely care for her dysfunctional mother and younger sister. At twenty-one, Aria sticks to herself and has no time for men, romance, and most of all, love. After witnessing the demise of her parents' train wreck of a marriage lead to a cycle of adultery, addiction, and abuse, she swears to herself that she wants no part in any of it. That all changes when she crosses paths with tall and tattooed New Orleans native Austin Delaney, who weasels his way into Aria's heart and refuses to let her maneuver life alone. First, he offers her a job. And then? The promise that he's not going anywhere. • Highest Ranking: #1 in New Adult Romance, #4 in Adult Romance, #22 in Romance •
