Book Description:
How do you survive the internship from hell?
Don't fall in love.
Ivy thought being a reporter-in-training at the Independent
Gazette would be her dream summer job. Little did she know, interviewing Eric,
a landscaper with a heart of gold, would derail her plans. It turns out Ivy's
boss, Lauren, has been eying his chiseled physique for quite some time.
But at twenty-four, Eric already has a tragic past, one that
he is still reeling from. Even though his ordeal turned him into some sort of
local celebrity, it's been a while since he's shared his bed with anyone. When
he comes to Ivy's rescue out of the blue, it's not long before the two of them
start seeing each other behind Lauren's back. When they get caught, Ivy's
journey toward a college degree is jeopardized and her relationship with Eric
is severely put to the test.
Career versus love? In the end, a shocking turn of events
provides Ivy with a revelation she never saw coming.
Excerpt:
If only I were open to the possibility of romance, but I’m
not. There’s no way I can be. There are circumstances that can’t be wished away
or ignored. My heart’s not ready—not yet. And while this absolutely gorgeous
girl has wandered into my life, I’m not going to act on it. It’s too soon.
I stride into my shop, gently placing her on the counter.
Her feet are bleeding and she looks like she could use a drink of water. She’s
covered in dust from the road but she looks adorable sitting there. I don’t
know what it’s like to be in a scenario like this with a girl. I’m used to
things being straightforward and laid out before me. This looks like something
I could get easily lost in if I’m not careful.
We still haven’t said a word to each other, and I hate to
break the silence but it can’t be avoided. “Rest here a minute. I’ll be right
back.”
Her hand lingers on my upper arm, her thumb massaging by
bicep. I exhale heavily, trying desperately to clear my head. Her touch is
stirring things inside me I haven’t experienced in quite some time. Emotions I
never thought I’d feel again. “Thank you,” she whispers, her eyes never leaving
mine.
“No problem,” I try to say as casually as possible. She’s
looking at me like I’m her knight in shining armor and I don’t want her to get
the wrong idea. I can’t go down that road again. I just can’t. My soul still
isn’t fully healed from the last time. I can’t trust myself in these kinds of
situations. I need to back away as gracefully as I can.
