Hi! JD Rosewood here.
This is my first sweet-romance and I'm really excited to be on Wattpad! I'd love to get your thoughts on the story. I really wanted to write a story where the main characters take charge of their lives. But, I didn't want to simply flip the age-old stereotype of boy rescues girl/girl rescues boy. I wanted a heroine and hero that pull themselves out of trouble and are not dependent on each other for salvation.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on whether I achieved that or not!
Sincerely,
JD
Emily and River meet in Miami, where they have the time of their lives, but it isn't meant to be: the next morning, Emily leaves for San Francisco, leaving both their hearts broken. They don't think they'll ever see each other again.
Emily goes back to the privileged life with her parents. There, a plan is set up for her to marry Jason in order to save the business of both their parents.
River remains in Miami with his little sister, while struggling to provide a living for them both. It is then that he gets the chance of a lifetime, but it means giving up everything he loves.
Then, against all expectations, Emily and River meet again a few months later... On her wedding day with someone else.

"From the summary I had a lot of expectation of a one night stand, one and done type of thing with drama to follow up in later chapters. What I got was something different. The beautiful descriptions of the beach town made me feel warm and cozy and kept me reading until these two characters were introduced. I thought their meeting was innocent and sweet, not what I was expecting. It was really good." - CourtneyPeterman0
