Before Chris Hamerling was one of the most sought-after Big Apple bachelors, I was his first crush, he couldn’t keep his eyes off me.
Back in Fairfield Heights to raise my son in the quiet of the small-town, little did I know that the guy who stole a kiss from me, AKA my high school admirer, is my landlord and neighbor.
Which means we would be bumping into each other very often.
Friendship makes good neighbors doesn’t it? So, I thought. Until my resolve that handsome, wealthy men are a bad bet, slowly crumbled in view of Chris’ perfect father figure to my son.
Yet, his past weighed heavy on him, his life has too much drama. And I’m determined to show my son and the world what a strong single woman and mother looks like.
Withstanding this plan is my interfering mind as it remembers my young-self kissing Chris. I wonder if I could look past his baggage.
What would it feel like when we kiss again…
This old crush romance is a standalone no spice friends to lovers, with sizzling wholesomeness.
