This duet includes The Girl Next Door and The Boy Next Door (bonus epilogues included).
The Girl Next Door
Mia Stanbury is the quintessential girl next door. Smart, beautiful, and determined. Sheās got it all going on. Is it any wonder that sheās been on my radar for as long as I can remember? Weāre talking middle school, folks.
Fine, Iāll admit that Iāve made a few boneheaded mistakes as far as sheās concerned, but what can I say? Iām a dude. Sometimes I think with the wrong head. Weāll just chalk it up to one of the hazards of having a Y chromosome and leave it at that. But Iām older now.
More mature.
Sort of.
Mia has spent all of high school and college keeping me at a distance. If she didnāt melt in my arms every time I put my hands on her, Iād almost think she was immune to my charms. Turns out thatās not the case. This is our last year at Wesley before we go our separate ways. Me to the NFL, her to law school. Itās now or never.
Iām done playing games and allowing her to push me away.
The Boy Next Door
Iāve 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 Iād 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, Iāve returned to Wesley University to finish out my senior year.
And Colton?
Heās nothing more than a regrettable mistake Iād prefer to forget. Or so I tell myself. It only takes one run-in to realize that my feelings for him arenāt as dead and buried as Iād thought.
Nope, theyāre still there, simmering dangerously beneath the surface.
He wants a second chance to make things right. Thatās not going to happen. But Colton has other ideas. And part of me is afraid that if he actually puts his mind to it, heāll end up changing mine.
