Description
Maddox When I signed up to do volunteer work at the local library, I didn’t expect my world to be turned upside down. But when I catch sight of the librarian on duty, that’s exactly what happens. The only problem is, I already know her, and her memories of the person I was in high school aren’t exactly going to endear me to her. Now that I’ve fallen for her, I’ve got to prove that I’m no longer that person.MayaMaddox is the last person I want to see when I’m a disheveled mess on crutches. I’ve never forgotten the way he taunted me back in high school, and I’m convinced he’s same cruel, meathead jock I remember. As we spend more time together, though, I start to think that maybe he’s changed. My heart wants to believe that he’s become the dream man I write about in my secret romance stories, but my head knows better. Is it worth giving him another chance, or do bullies never change?Let it Crackle is the fourth and final book in the Playing with Fire series. It is a short and steamy standalone with a happy ending that’ll make you smile.
