"I went flying to my grandpa's study room which was on the first floor. I stood in front of the big wooden door and tried opening it. The door was locked. I slowly took out the key embossed with the triple spiral and carefully inserted it into the keyhole. Then very cautiously I rotated the key and for my surprise the lock swiftly released and the door opened with a crack. Standing on the doorway, my heart leapt with happiness and anxiety as to know what lay hidden inside my grandpa's study."

The Reluctant Romantics
He was her first love and 'never'... She will be his last and 'forever'. *** Tessa Maxfield has always been the smart one because she couldn't be the pretty one or the cool one. And she's fine with that. The upside of being smart is not making stupid decisions like she did as a kid, falling in love with her older brother's best friend. She outgrew that and could still outsmart it now. Jake Hastings has always been a playboy because he could be so why not? But his best friend's rash wedding and fairytale marriage has left him wondering if he could have more. The downside to his notorious reputation is that when he unexpectedly finds the girl he can't live without, she won't believe him. He burned that bridge a long time ago and she's not letting him build a new one now. Can two people who want so much of what they're afraid of find their way through first loves and second chances to finally find each other? *** This is a spin-off from The Mischievous Mrs. Maxfield. It can be read standalone but I would highly recommend reading the original book first before this one for a lot more context and extra scenes. *** Copyright © 2016 by Nina Tippett.
