Description
Stalking the town recluse wasn't exactly wise.
Davis was five years older than me... antisocial and temperamental. And there was the little fact that he didn't know I existed. Still, I gave him my heart, and he crushed it.
So I picked up the pieces and ran away to New York City. I had a plan that would keep my heart intact for years. But one phone call changed everything.
Returning home meant facing the past... and the man who ruined me. I had hoped that the mountain had swallowed him whole. But, as I set out to help my parents, I discover he's not only alive and well, but that they apparently love the jerk.
He has no idea that we have a past, which is both a relief and salt in the wound. I promise myself I'll ignore how his eyes linger on me, or how his touch feels like a live wire, and I'll remember that once upon a time he broke me, and for that, I refuse to fall for him again.
But I can't control that he seems to be falling for me this time.
Experience the complicated emotions and unexpected romance in Resisting the Grump by Ashley Munoz.
