She Doesn't Have Many Friends

Volume One in the Proposal Series: Himuro Edition.

Takes place when Himuro first comes to America.

Darcy Holmes is the definition of anti-social. As a young child, she had no clue how to cultivate and keep friendships with other people, so eventually she gave up on trying. All that changes, however, when handsome Japanese exchange-student, Himuro Tatsuya, ends up in the house just across the street from her. Unable to speak a word of English, Himuro is in need of someone to show him the ropes of his new home and, according to her concerned mother, Darcy is just the person for the job. Love blooms quickly between the two outcasts, but the forces at work seem determined to keep them apart...especially when a fiery red-head enters the picture and disturbs the balance shared between Darcy and her only friend.
