Loyalty Card

Birdie has been alone most of her life. Even before her mother took off for Chicago, Birdie’s been in the one in charge of her household. She has her own small apartment and a decent job doing the books for her one friend, ol’ Mr. Higgins. She doesn’t need anything else—particularly not a man who steals her phone and then her tampons just because she can’t locate her grocery store loyalty card.



After his parents were killed in a freak car accident, Nick moves his grandmother to a small town in southern Illinois where he plans to grieve and plot a course of revenge. He doesn’t have any intentions of falling for the girl at the grocery store. He didn’t mean to steal her groceries but now that he has them, he’ll have to figure out a way to return them even if it means using her phone number he memorized inside the grocery store. Once he laid eyes on Birdie, he realized he can’t live without her love—and her loyalty.
