MOVED FROM MY OLD ACCOUNT Nicole had been best friends with Max Goof ever since her family moved into the neighborhood. She always thought he was funny, kind (although, she has to admit, he can be a bit of a brat sometimes), and, even though he hated it, she couldn't help but find his laugh adorable. So, it didn't surprise her when she realized she had a crush on him. But certain arrangements -that her parents have planned- are keeping her from revealing her secret, which is just fine with her. Even then, it hurts to see her best friend fall for someone else, especially since he asked her to help him win that certain someone's heart. Despite her feelings, she puts his needs before hers, just to make him happy. And just when they feel like they've succeeded, an unannounced fishing trip interrupts their progress. But this trip just might be the best thing to happen to them.

But the new role had a catch, and the catch had a name: Ryker Cohen, Ashton's sole archnemesis. Can Ashton act alongside the man he has spent years despising? Will he give in to the hate? Or will Ryker's soft touch melt Ashton's stone cold heart? *** "You're crazy," Ashton whispered. "Yes," Ryker continued. "For you." "No. You're just crazy. Period." *** [mxm] [marked mature for sexual content]
