Twenty Miles To You

Moving twenty miles away isn't just a change of scenery-it's full-blown main-character oppression!

Seventeen-year-old Michaela Pierce has it all: she's the head cheerleader at Sun Ridge High, drives a pristine white BMW, and is dating Ethan Johnson-the starting quarterback with 6'2" of pure muscular perfection and a cocky smirk to match.

Life as high school royalty is sweet, sarcastic, and completely under her control... until her dad drops a Friday morning bombshell.

He's switching law firms on Monday, moving twenty miles away, and uprooting her entire life to a brand-new school.

Faced with the tragic loss of her kingdom, her cheer squad, and her star boyfriend, Michaela decides to survive her final day at Sun Ridge in true dramatic fashion. But Ethan isn't letting his queen go down without a fight. With his parents out of town, he hatches the ultimate plan: throw a massive, wild, legendary going-away party at his lake house to give Michaela the send-off she deserves.

"Well, well, well... if it isn't Ethan Johnson's girl," a deep, smooth voice purred right above my ear.

I froze, looking up-and up-until my eyes locked onto a 6'3" broad-shouldered mountain of a guy. He had thick, ear-length black hair that framed a stupidly handsome face, piercing blue eyes, and a cocky smirk plastered across his lips.

Joshua Allen.

My jaw clenched instantly. I rolled my baby blue eyes so hard I almost saw my own brain.

"Get your arm off me, peasant!" I squeaked, shoving against his massive biceps with all my strength.

Joshua just threw his head back and laughed-a rich, loud, deeply amusing sound-and didn't bother budging an inch, casually dragging me along with him as he walked down the hallway.

"Now, is that any way to speak to your new tour guide, princess?" Joshua chuckled, his blue eyes dancing with pure amusement as he looked down at me struggling against his arm.
