Before the Great Depression shattered his dreams of a perfect life and her dreams of attending school into distant memories of the past, Walter and Ruth were typical people. Walter thought his privileged lifestyle and loving family in New York City were all he could ever expect from life. Ruth, daughter of struggling farmers in the prejudice state of Alabama, had always hoped there was more to her life than "offing" chickens and sneaking books to read.

When Walter plays the unsuspecting hero to a girl with hair that can defy gravity and skin the color of copper. He finds himself in emotional realms he's never explored before, while Ruth realizes she's found the one person she can trust with her life.

When she's given another shot at life by the six foot New Yorker who saves her, the walls she's built up slowly begin to chip away. Together, they embark on an adventure, but their differences threaten to tear them apart.

NO DOUBT [bwwm] by bunnygirlsenpaistwin

『 𝙉𝙊 𝘿𝙊𝙐𝘽𝙏 』 What happens when a 22-year old lands a job in a restaurant, and meets the owner's son. Excerpt from book: 《 His voice was low, raspy, laced with something of desire, maybe, but all I could hear was lust of the most unchaste kind. "You know, you drive me crazy,... so fucking insane. And it might just be my madness talking, but I have a feeling you want me." He approached, closing the gap between our two bodies. I tried taking a step back, but only felt the cold kitchen counter against my warm trembling palms. "Do you want me, dolcezza?" He whispered against my ear as his hands found their way to my waist. The heat between my legs was insufferable, and my pounding heart drummed against the walls of my chest. In my head, it was clear, I wanted him, but him, of all people? He lowered his hands to my hips and pulled me impossibly closer to him. I let out a shaky breath, that came out as a soft moan. Shit. "Then be a good girl, and say it." 》 ❦❦❦ Read trigger warnings first. I do NOT own any of the pictures or the music displayed in this book.
