First Love

HUNTERThe first time Taylor Jane Bryant gave me a boner she held a hammer and a plank of wood. She had no idea how to nail straight and I worried she’d jam her delicate fingers trying. I might have been a tad overprotective for the third week of high school with a girl I barely knew. I’d already gotten in trouble for fighting and the last thing I needed was getting bounced from my new home. This girl… was a distraction. Trouble. All my life I’d been told I was worthless by an angry man. I’d never be good enough for her, but I could make sure no one hurt her. I’d never take it further than friendship for both our sakes but it’d kill me to let her go.TAYLOR JANEI didn’t expect him to show up for our club project.

Too bad I’ve been friend-zoned.This YA freebie leads into the Adult Contemporary Romance Series.
