Hey guys, I originally wrote this story in 2012, and now-13 years later-I'm returning to it with fresh eyes, a bit more life experience, and a full heart. This version is a reimagined take on the original, and while it's still a first draft (with its fair share of rough edges), I'm beyond excited to finally share it with you. To those who have read, are reading, or will someday read this-thank you. Truly. Your support, your votes, your time-it all means a lot. If you have thoughts, feedback, or just want to say hi, I'd love to hear from you. To everyone who's been part of this journey, even silently-thank you for being here. ❤️ - All rights reserved.

[This book has officially been published and only a sample remains. See inside for details.] Nora Montgomery's primary goal was to remain seemingly unnoticed until graduation, and that meant staying away from Ryder Collins. But when both she and Ryder are selected to participate in the local police department's handcuff demonstration, they find themselves inescapably chained together. The tension between them is thick; filled with unresolved issues from their past friendship. But things get a whole lot worse when the officer loses the key and the pair are forced to accommodate each other until a replacement is available. Being handcuffed to the opposite gender was sure to introduce some extremely uncomfortable situations. Things are about to get awkward, right? 2013 Watty Awards Winner Most Popular, Mystery//Thriller
