This is a spin-off of my previous book "The Bad Boy and Me," but can be read as a stand-alone. Please note that if you read this story after The bad boy and me, it takes place a year later so all characters are older.
Ellie, a shy and insecure 23-year-old, takes a pre-wedding trip with her fiancé and his friends, only to be left alone with Bella, the girlfriend of her fiancé's best friend.
Bella is confident, bold and reckless, contrasting with Ellie's quiet nature.
After sharing an unexpected, forced moment, what starts as an uneasy connection, quickly sparks intense emotions and a forbidden attraction they can't ignore.
"I wish for once, people stop getting in the way between us. I know it's too much to ask, but can it happen?"
"I don't know... I really don't know..."
"I wish it was like that."
"I wish that too. I'm longing for that."
How could an emotion so strong, so overwhelming be wrong?
After all, isn't that all we seek? A thrill, a look, a touch that makes us feel good, that makes us feel something...
