This Feeling

Is there anything worse than getting dumped by your boyfriend in a very public, very humiliating way? How about agreeing to fake-date the jerk to help get his matchmaking mother off his back and make his new love interest jealous? 

My friends and family don't think so, but I'm getting Giants season tickets out of the deal. I can do anything for a short couple of months, right?  However, when my ex's sexier older brother, Delcan, moves back home, I realize I'm not that confident after all. 

For five years, I've avoided Moose Village, New York, as much as possible for one reason: the girl I've crushed on since high school was already spoken for-by my brother. Now discharged from the military, I'm coming home, tentatively heartened by the fact that they're no longer a couple. Except...it seems they are. But something's different this time. Harper doesn't seem as smitten as she was the first time around. Meanwhile, the chemistry sizzling between us is what I've dreamed of for years.

Even if I'm able to get to the bottom of the weird behavior between my brother and Harper, I've gone from one dangerous career to another. I've already got my anxious mother badgering me to quit. Will my career choice be too much for Harper, too? 



I can only hope this feeling between the two of us is enough.
