Counter Play

In the game of love, it’s hard to level the playing field when your opponent is the one who got away. I was nine years old when I claimed Charlie King as mine. We were in love — high school sweethearts — until one devastating day when it all fell apart. Two years later, she’s back in my life and needs a place to live. Sure, she’s infuriating, and her kissable smart mouth keeps me on my toes, but her being in my space falls into my plan to get her back. Charlie doesn’t want anything to do with me but I’ll be damned if I let her walk out of my life again. Even if it means the dark secrets of my past will come rushing back to haunt us both. When we’re down to the wire, it’s time to make a counter play and win my girl back for good.
