A slow-burn, friends-to-lovers standalone holiday romance
The bad guy never gets the girl.
In the eyes of the law, I’ve paid for my youthful mistakes but I know I can never undo the damage I’ve caused. When I stepped out of my cell, I vowed to live a good life, make the right choices, and avoid temptation at all costs.
Until her.
She’s not a choice, she’s a compulsion. A craving. A beautiful, brave heroine who walked straight off the pages of the comic books I create and into my life with the superpower of making me believe I could be the man she deserves.
But I’m not.
She wants to tell the world about us this Christmas, including her father—my boss. But before she does, I need to tell her the truth.
Can I possibly stay her hero when she finds out that I used to be the villain?
*Originally a short in the Mistletoe Over Manhattan Anthology and now expanded to more than double the story.
Can I possibly stay her hero when she finds out that I used to be the villain?
Anthony made a mistake when he was younger. One he regrets dearly, but he has paid for it. Now he is determined to move forward and be the man he wants and needs to be. When he get a jobs working on bikes he could not be happier to be given a second chance. Then he meets the boss’ daughter and she takes his breath away. But the bad guy can never have a girl like her, right?
Anthony and Victoria have a connection right from the start. They have more in common than either realize. Though Anthony wants to be friends only, the more time they spend together, the more the lines blur. I loved watching Anthony and Victoria connect and spend time together. But what happens when their past and presents collide?
I truly enjoyed reading Pining by Stephanie Rose and just loved seeing some of our favorites and getting Victoria’s story. Their story was emotional, touching and about second chances. I devoured it and was left with a big smile.
