Fresh starts are a lie. I should know-I've tried.
After my parents died in a car crash, I spent years drowning in my own head, stuck in a cycle of bad decisions and worse hair colors. Moving to Charming, California, was supposed to be a change of scenery, not some life-altering revelation. My best friend Ravi promised cheap rent, good booze, and zero expectations. That was enough for me.
What I didn't expect was Jax Teller.
My next-door neighbor. The kind of man who looks like trouble and probably is. Blond, tattooed, rides a Harley like it's an extension of himself. Exactly the type of guy I should avoid. But Jax? He doesn't seem to get the memo.
He finds my awkwardness amusing, my cynicism a challenge. And despite my best efforts to keep my walls up, he keeps sneaking past them-with late-night conversations, lingering looks, and that damn smirk that makes my brain short-circuit.
I don't do romance. I don't do danger. And I sure as hell don't do bikers.
But in Charming, things don't go according to plan. And maybe, just maybe, I don't want them to.

in which,
cassandra blake and jj maybank
hate each other because
the former is a kook trying to be
a pogue and the latter is a real
pogue. but when a treasure hunt
occurs and they're forced to work
together despite their differences,
leading to complicated feelings being
formed, would that make them both
guilty as sin?
