Endless Hope

It takes more than endless hope to get to a happily ever after in this small town...

Signing up for the fund-raising bachelorette auction seemed like the right thing to do. Sure, it'd be awkward and embarrassing. But it was for a good cause, right?

I never thought my high school sweetheart-my first love, my first everything-would bid on me.

But he did.

Talon is grumpy. Borderline antisocial. Far too sexy for my peace of mind.

And he wants more than just one date.

I probably should've refused. But I couldn't.

Now, spending time with him is making me want things I know we can't have. Because the truth is that I don't deserve a second chance.

I don't deserve him.

All I can do is hope I don't break his heart-again-when he finally figures that out...
