She’s my brother’s best friend’s little sister. Tara has been a part of my life since we were five years old. My parents adore her. She even has her own room in my childhood home. Her face is inked on my forearm—not that anyone realizes it’s her. I’d never admit it, or the rose I have been sending her in secret since freshmen year of high school seven years ago. I can’t have Tara. She isn’t for me. She’s sweet, and everything good. The opposite of me. I’m the jerk. The college dropout turned tattoo artist. The one who has turned down every drunken pass she’s ever made over the years. I’m also the guy that beat the shit out of a friend for lying about her our senior year. But no one needs to know that. Especially not Tara. We’re roommates now, so when I come home one night and find her on the porch crying, I’ll do whatever she needs to make the tears stop. Only once wasn’t enough… I wanted more. The problem is, I don’t deserve her and never will. I know it. Everyone knows it. And like I knew would happen, I messed it all up. You can’t grovel and beg for someone’s forgiveness when they’re no longer here. She was gone, and I’d never forgive myself…

"A big, strong professional athlete?""Sweetheart, you bring me to my knees."Steven leaned in and pressed his lips to hers.

Stella Connor's to do list: Don't get fired from my job (the one that I'm not qualified for). Find a place to live that isn't my friend's couch. Eat more vegetables--marzipan shaped like carrots doesn't count. Evade my mother. Think of unicorns instead of Mason Drake's arms. Because that will just lead to thinking of other parts of his body. My mother always said a good to-do list is the foundation of every successful woman. But since she also said that if you just throw enough money at a problem it will go away, I'm not sure how solid her advice is. I guess I'm about to find out since I cut ties with my family and have no money left to throw at anything. Something else I'm beginning to figure out: Mason Drake isn't at all who I thought he was. This enemies-to-lovers romcom is the second book in the Some Call It Series and can be read as a standalone.
