I'm frenemies with nightmare fuel!
For the last seven months, Nash Fox has made it his mission to make sure I could never forget he existed. And okay, I'm not too upset by it. I could tell him to go away or stop texting me, but I don't.
That would be so mean.
Except, that comes back to bite me in the ass when I'm invited to Colorado for two weeks. For the Luna-Pierce family games. Never mind the Kitt Luna tour I have to managed in less than a month.
Why does it come back to bite me? Oh, right.
I have to share a guest house with Nash! Someone sedate me for the next two weeks. Because now, he's there every second, and I already had trouble with getting him out of my psyche.
Nash was the brash, cold-seeming, and the 'bad boy' you'd read about. But he isn't those things, and I find out exactly why I'd been so sure of that.
My back rooms stranger is Nash.
How do I find out? Nash falls into another panic attack, and I'm the only one around.
When I find out, there is nothing I can do to keep hiding the feelings I have for the ice-cold bad boy.
But we both have secrets, and when those secrets show up through our reactions, we have to figure out how to navigate them.
Which is why I begin dating Nash. In secret. Until we can both make sure this is what we really want.
Through rescue missions, horse snuggles, adrenaline-activities, snarky dialogue, and stolen moments? There lay a beautiful moment that I become less scared to take.
But why does Nash hide this sweet, soft side of himself? I want to find out what he's protecting himself from, so that I can shield him, too.
Nash isn't alone anymore, and I need to realize that I'm not, either.
