Chelsea Winters knocked me on my ass.
Meeting the curvy, auburn-haired goddess was the last thing I was expecting on my first day at a new college. But when she shows up at the lake house I share with my seven close friends, she looks like my literal dream girl.
Then we spend a few hours talking, and I know without question, sheās meant to be mine.
Until she panics, runs away, and tries to ghost me.
But our campus isnāt that big, and it doesnāt take long for us to cross paths again, and when we do, I realize how terrified Chelsea actually is.
Afraid to trust or let anyone past the upbeat, confident exterior she puts up.
Which means itās now my mission to show her sheās safe with me. She can trust me with her hurt and her heart. If she needs to go slow, I'll crawl, as long as it's to her.
Weāre both here for a fresh start, trying to heal from our pasts, but the more time I spend with her, the less Iām worried about the past because all I see is my future with her.
There might not be any such thing as the perfect love, but I know without a doubt, sheās my perfect match, and Iāll do whatever it takes to be the man she shares her future with.
