Grumpy Best Friend

I’ll sacrifice everything for a second chance.

When I was young and stupid, I broke Jude’s heart. I had to escape my drunk, abusive father, but ?leaving her behind was the biggest mistake of my life.

Now I have another shot at making things right. Jude’s new boss wants to build a factory outside of Philadelphia, and she brings me in to help.

I’m thrust back into Jude’s world, and not much has changed.

She’s still beautiful, still hilarious, and still hates my guts.

???Little by little, she’ll remember why we fell in love back in high school. I’ll make her pout, then make her laugh— then make her strip down and kiss me. And soon I’ll have her back, all grown up and perfect. Or else I’ll lose the empire I built with my own calloused hands.
