Dirty Developments

When I was fourteen, I wrote Joel Price a love song.When I was fourteen, he stole it and asked another girl to prom.Now, thirteen years later, he’s sleeping in my spare room.I am going to kill my brother.Ethan didn’t warn me Joel would be at dinner. Didn’t warn me that the indie musician everyone in Duluth is suddenly obsessed with is the same boy who ripped my teenage heart out in front of an entire high school auditorium. And he definitely didn’t warn me that Joel’s old crash pad is now a nursery-which leaves exactly one available bedroom in the family, and it happens to be mine.Two weeks. That’s all I have to survive. Two weeks of Joel making pancakes in my kitchen, playing guitar badly enough in my living room to make my fingers itch, and looking at me like he’s waiting for a fight I refuse to give him.I have rules. No loud music. No unnecessary conversation. No touching my stuff. No pretending we’re anything other than the wreckage of what we used to be.He has charm, a guitar, and the kind of smile that should honestly be illegal.There’s a crumpled envelope in my desk drawer. Joel handed it to me eighteen months ago on Valentine’s Day. I never opened it. I should probably keep it that way.Because opening it means admitting I might have been wrong.And admitting I might have been wrong means facing the question I’ve spent my entire adult life running from:What if he saw me all along?Book 3 of The One Night Stand Club-a steamy contemporary romance series set in the Twin Ports.
