No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
Life happens, whether youβre ready or not. All you can do is hold on and go along for the ride.
Thatβs the motto Hadley Jones lives by, and for good reason. Most of the women in her family have repeated the same pattern. Single motherhood. Working two jobs just to scrape by. For Hadley, wanting more is not an option.
Which is why her friendship with Sam Constable was doomed before it even began. He was sweet, popular, and destined for great things outside their small town. But when he risked one kiss, and told her he loved her, Hadley refused to believe they could ever stand a chance. Hurt and angry, Sam moved to his fatherβs place in Los Angeles, leaving Hadley alone.
Now, a year has passed. Sam is back and more determined than ever to convince Hadley theyβre meant to be. But Hadley canβt forget how Sam deserted her. And when Sam learns of the mistake she made while he was gone, sheβll have to decide whether to let him go again, or finally take a stand and fight for the futureβand the boyβshe wants with all her heart.
