The Princess of Mulberry Lane

Jay Wilkinson is a lover, not a fighter. He's a nurturer by nature, even at eighteen years old, and would rather attend his little brother's piano recital than play football with the guys.

Lauren Castle is his best friend, neighbor, and the school slut. She's impulsive, irresponsible, popular, and everything Jay isn't. He cares nothing about her reputation but everything about the sweet girl hidden under her facade. Jay wants only to win the heart of the beloved princess of Mulberry Lane, but he's a lover, after all. He doesn't know how to fight.
