Description

The plan was always to leave so why did saying goodbye hurt so bad?

To escape my upbringing, my home, leaving my small town is all I ever wanted. Only one thing stands in my way… my final business project for my degree. And for my plan to work, I need the best. So when the Academic Dean of my college offers me what he considers the plum assignment, I have no choice but to jump at the chance. Too bad it's with them.

Kaycee Miller. Hunter Thompson. Ryder Reid. They swaggered into the town earlier that year with their giant championship rodeo belt buckles and even bigger egos. Their rep named them the bad boys on campus and in town. Not that it bothers me. I can survive being with them… I think. After all, I've got tons of experience acting professional around those that despise me. It's my daily life.

It doesn't matter that these are the type of men I normally run from.

Ahh, who am I kidding? I run away from everyone.

But the assignment is important. It's my future.

And I'll do anything to see it through.

Even if sparks fly the longer I'm around them, making me question everything.

After all, I'll soon be gone.
