AFTERGLOW SERIES #1
A girl names Laoise Vei believes boys were nothing but distractions-especially the loud, carefree ones sitting at the back of the classroom.
Determined to focus only on her studies, she keeps her walls high and her heart guarded. Whenever her friends suggests that she goes to blind dates, she always decline because she'd rather study all day than meet some random man who will just give her nothing but distraction.
But when a relentlessly flirty classmate makes it his personal mission to get under her skin, her carefully organized world begins to unravel. What starts as constant annoyance slowly turns into unexpected comfort, stolen smiles, and a connection she never saw coming.
In the middle of academic pressure, she found her comfort. She knows she wasn't supposed to fall, yet she let her feelings grow and let her smiles slide because she thinks that he may be a distraction but in the gentlest way.
He was the soft interruption to her serious life. He distracts her. . . but in the nicest way possible.
