It's been years since June Bell shared a stolen moment with her girlhood crush, Kase McCasker. It's been just as long since Kase's father nixed the sale of the McCasker farm to expand the grounds of the Bell's grand hotel. Now that Kase is back home for good, June might be the only person who can persuade him to reconsider the abandoned plan. But how can she face him again after he left her without a word? Four years ago, unexpected news shook the foundation of Kase McCasker's world. Escaping Falls Edge for college was the perfect excuse to chase his demons and bury his pain. Now, with a degree in hand and a void he can't fill, he's back in the little mountain town he thought he'd never call home again. Searching for purpose, he's determined to put down roots and take over the struggling farm that's been in his family for generations. Time and distance haven't taken the edge off his preoccupation with June, the spitfire daughter of his father's rival. He hasn't forgotten their time together and all the things they did and didn't do. One look at her has him reconsidering the future and making a dangerous deal to win her over. Is a chance at her heart worth risking everything else? *Formerly published as Misadventures of a Virgin

I am doing this for myself." anito bago tumingin sa kanya at kinindatan siya. "Uh.. huh.. care to elaborate?" nanunuksong sabi niya na marahang pinagapang ang isang daliri sa mamasel na dibdib nito. "Fuck. Continue doing that, my Lexie, and you will be taken, right here, right now." halos ay daing nang lumabas iyon sa lalamunan nito. Ziv Atticus dela Vega Leighana Alexandra Maniego
