This duet includes both The Girl Next Door and The Boy Next Door.
The Girl Next Door
Mia Stanbury is the quintessential girl next door. Smart, beautiful, and determined. She's got it all going on. Is it any wonder that she's been on my radar for as long as I can remember? We're talking middle school, folks.
Fine, I'll admit that I've made a few boneheaded mistakes as far as she's concerned, but what can I say? I'm a dude. Sometimes I think with the wrong head. We'll just chalk it up to one of the hazards of having a Y chromosome and leave it at that. But I'm older now.
More mature.
Sort of.
Mia has spent all of high school and college keeping me at a distance. If she didn't melt in my arms every time I put my hands on her, I'd almost think she was immune to my charms. Turns out that's not the case. This is our last year at Wesley before we go our separate ways. Me to the NFL, her to law school. It's now or never.
I'm done playing games and allowing her to push me away.
The Boy Next Door
I've spent more years than I care to admit crushing hard on Colton Montgomery. The blond, blue-eyed hottie leaves a trail of broken hearts in his wake wherever he goes. Mine being one of them. Just when I'd decided to cut my losses and move on, he appeared out of nowhere and swept me off my feet. It had all seemed like a fairytale until he dumped me.
Through text message.
Ouch.
Eighteen months and one study abroad program later, I've returned to Wesley University to finish out my senior year.
And Colton?
He's nothing more than a regrettable mistake I'd prefer to forget. Or so I tell myself. It only takes one run-in to realize that my feelings for him aren't as dead and buried as I'd thought.
Nope, they're still there, simmering dangerously beneath the surface.
He wants a second chance to make things right. That's not going to happen. But Colton has other ideas. And part of me is afraid that if he actually puts his mind to it, he'll end up changing mine.
