Xochitl (Xo) Torres is starting over. Well, trying to, anyway. After escaping from an abusive relationship, she has returned to her hometown in hopes of healing and leaving her relationship in the past. The last person she expected to reenter her life is Xavier (Xay) Thompson, her childhood best friend-turned-enemy. Especially since he is as infuriatingly annoying and attractive as ever. Xochitl is determined to keep Xavier at a distance, where she can't dwell on his stupid grin, but he seems determined to find a place into her heart.
