Romance
Description
(Book #1 in the Now and Ever Series)She’s a tennis player. Mind yapper. Sunshine (grumpy for him).
Dennis Allen’s mischievous smiles making her flutter have been a habitual process. Even though, she has always considered him a fool along with the fact that he’s her nemesis of a childhood friend, didn’t deter her from having a crush on him growing up (and maybe, her best friend’s insistence, too). However, her crush was crushed when she saw him with his girlfriend on his 18th birthday party.
“A curse,” she thinks, “our families being so tightly knitted is a curse.”
A 15-year-old girl’s cracked heart eventually got mended, because you know what? “It doesn’t matter.” This has been her mantra since that day for the past three years. But...
Things change. People change. Resolve breaks. And of course, hearts, too.
But this time it will be her. Unlike Dennis, she will do it knowingly.
Cecilia James will have to make a rather dire choice. Control the incessant beating of the damned organ in his presence - because, oh boy! That man has a mouth on him – or face the recurring ill-fated part of her life. And she really can’t anymore.
So, she chose.
He’s a physiotherapist. Green flag. Sunshine (especially, for her)
Cecilia James has always been fascinating in his eyes. His friend. The girl whose eyes narrowed in his presence. Why? He has no idea. And, since when did he start to wait for her voice to be directed towards him?
Thus, he does something he never thought he would. He lays his heart on her feet to crush it happily. “Whatever you want.” He says, with each piercing shard.
While life knocked him over vehemently. It’s not just her, Dennis Allen lost.
