I’ve been in love with big, brooding Jared Sawyer ever since he hired me to work in his hardware store. He scowls a lot and growls more than he talks, but there’s something about him that makes me feel like I’m right where I’m supposed to be. After one explosive night in his arms, I’m even more certain we belong together. But then he never mentions the way he kissed and held me, or the naughty things he whispered in my ear.
How is it possible that what felt like forever was just a one and done?
Just when I’m sure that the only consequences of our night together are awkward silences at work, I find out Jared left me with more than a broken heart.
