Bree Apollo is an average fifteen-year-old girl: she loves chocolate, baking cupcakes, and her neighbor, the hunky and all around popular seventeen-year-old Foster Quinn. Except Foster is clueless about her feelings for him, instead treating her like a kid sister and begging for her homemade desserts. As a fellow chocolate lover, he should be Bree's for the taking, if it weren't for his oh-so-perfect girlfriend.
After she overhears Foster making fun of her to his friends, she's devastated. And not even chocolate can take away the pain. She intends to wallow in grief for a boy that was never hers to begin with, but Austen, her eccentric new neighbor has other ideas.
The strange boy down the street always wears a black fedora, walks barefoot, and focuses all his energy on building a treehouse in his backyard. For some reason, he's elected Bree to help him. At first, she turns him down because he acts too awkward and takes everything she says literally. But after learning of his autism, she decides to help with his construction (forgiving him for not being a chocolate fan), even though she doesn't know a think about power tools.
As Bree and Austen grow closer, Foster notices Bree no longer worships the ground he walks on. He wants her to go back to that doting version of Bree, but Austen has become more important to her than she's ready to admit.
Austen may just be the one to help her move on from Foster.
Like two pieces of a puzzle, they fit together perfectly.
You won't know the characters until you learn about them. Dear readers, you're going to be as clueless as I am to what the characters are thinking. They're writing this, not me.
This is a romance novel full of romance, heartbreak, drama, and, of course... romance! (It's also going to be a series soon!)
This novel, however, is about two characters named Raven Woods and James Blanchard. Their meeting, their friendship, and the sparked romance between them!
This is about Raven Woods' struggle of moving far, far away from home; the stress of trying to open her own business in a town she's a stanger to, and her crumbling freindships back home.
This is about james, a biker club owner who had been hurt one too many times; a man who has been so afraid of falling in love that he'd do everything to avoid it.
But, it's not just them two, oh no. Brace yourselves for an onslaught or characters in this book because I've built an entire small (fictional) town in texas from the ground up. This means that you're gonna meet the characters, and you're gonna know them well! Everyone has a part to play, no matter how small or big!
(Yall, google Docs is crying RN bc of how many characters I've put into a single google doc.)
I hope you enjoy reading!
