Sweet Romance

Fake-dating my hunky professor was not supposed to be part of my story.

He’s older. A single dad. The last person in this town I should fall for…

How I wanted the start of my science doctorate program to go:

I’d finally study the brain
I’d no longer be a puppet in my parents’ cosmetics company empire
I’d date and get over my ex
That was my vision. My plan. I journaled about it all summer. I vowed that for once, I’d become the heroine of my own fairytale. Those heartfelt scribblings didn’t get me far, though. Rather than steer my future into bold new territory, I actually drove my hot neighbor’s classic Cadillac into a cement barrier.

It was an accident, but Micah didn’t see it that way—and he made that clear to the cops.
