Away Game (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798377068556)

A hasty decision. A broken heart. A chance for a new beginning.

Violet James has had it with being seen as a source of pity and deemed poor Violet by her over-protective neighbors. The last straw comes at the annual Memorial Day BBQ, when her life-long crush introduces her to his hot AF girlfriend as his little sister. Disheartened and tired of putting her life on hold for a man who will never love her as more than a friend, she leaves home and settles in the town of Suwannee Grove, Florida, determined to make a fresh start.

Farris Dalton's life is riddled with bad luck. His ex-girlfriend got pregnant with another man's baby while they were together, the office manager at the family business cleaned him and his father out, and his beloved mother has only been gone for six months. The emotional trauma has left him scarred and battered. However, he knows he and his father can turn the business aspect around with a little luck and the right person in the job.

When Violet answers an employment ad for an office manager, she sees it as an opportunity to work for a company that needs her specials talents. The fact she and Farris throw sparks off one another complicates matters. She's been there, done that with falling for her boss. However, Farris is easy to talk to and she has a feeling she knows him-that she wants to get to know him much better.

As their feelings begin to grow, unresolved issues from both their pasts threaten to pull them apart, along with new ones that might be too much for their fragile, new relationship to survive.
