That moment the cute girl next door turns out to be sweet and sassy instead of the bee I thought she was. Mind = Blown.

Raven plans on spending his senior year avoiding people as much as possible, building his name as a graphic designer, and placating his parent's worries that he'll have a repeat of the same depression he had three years ago. What he doesn't count on is the smexy telephone prank call that turns into a surprisingly solid, if anonymous, friendship, or the girl next door turning out to be completely different than he expected.

Lucy is used to being invisible to next door neighbor Raven since he happens to loathe her older sister. Who could blame him when Emily makes herself so easy to dislike? It's just her luck that Lucy's stupid heart chose him to bestow her affections on when they moved in four years ago. Now, with Raven in his senior year, her friends remind her that this is her last chance to get his attention. Too bad she's a chicken. And that she's firmly committed to the two year commitment she has as Tim's non-kissing girlfriend. Isn't she?

In this tale of insecurity and love, Meg Danale explores how people can surprise us in all the best ways and how faith in our fellow humans can sometimes lead to something more.

Wondering ‘What should I read next?’ His Beauty by Layla Holt.

He’s the kind of man she knows to stay away from—Rich, arrogant, self-obsessed and sexy.

In other words, a carbon copy of her ex. The one who took one look at her scarred face and broke their engagement.

Luckily, there’s no chance that her boss Lance Cohan would be interested in someone like her. Men take one look at her face and take off in the opposite direction.

Corrine is fine with that. She’s in Lockwood to take care of her eccentric aunt and to regroup after a horrible accident that leaves her face badly scarred.

Lance has met his share of loud-mouthed rude women. But he’s never had one in his office. His first instinct is to fire her but he has enough on his plate trying to convince his brothers that Candin Inc needs to expand and grow with the times.

Corrine is not his type at all and more importantly, he has been burned before and has no intention of getting involved in an office romance.

Then why is he drawn to her? Why does he find her laugh cute and why does he want to protect her from harm? Why can’t he stop dreaming about her?

And why, when she’s in his arms, does he feel as if his wandering spirit has finally reached home?
