I Wanted It to be Me

Have you ever had a truth bomb dropped on you—one so big, it blew up your life…in the best possible way? Yeah. Me, too. Everything in my life has gone exactly as I’d planned it. I graduated college, moved back to my hometown, and opened my own business. The Sly Fox is a thriving hotspot in the small town of Rebel, Idaho. I’m close to my family, my best friend just moved back to town, and I’ve never been happier. I am literally living the dream. It can’t possibly get any better than this. At least, that’s what I thought until a certain midnight-haired beauty walked into my bar and asked for a job. Mila Cabrera is even more gorgeous now than she was in high school, where I’d spent all four years secretly crushing on her. Now, she’s back in my life, and I’m having a hard time keeping things strictly professional. I want her, but she gets strangely nervous around me. Quiet. Guarded. And the more I break through her tough outer shell to get to know her, the more I want to know. I like her. A lot. But turns out, she has a secret. And when the truth is revealed, nothing will ever be the same. Dear readers, while this book is, in essence, a romantic comedy, there is a darker aspect regarding the past in the form of flashbacks. Unbeknownst to two characters who end up spending a night together, one of them was slipped a mood-altering substance by a third party and was unaware of their actions that night. I understand this may act as a trigger to some readers, and I hope you'll take this into consideration before reading. xoxo, Piper Read less
