Things I Always Wanted (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781959428015)

Brilliant, introverted, painfully logical med school student Sandra Hayes realizes she might finally be able to move on from her childhood crush with her hot new Anatomy T.A. The only problem is, she doesn't know how to flirt or even date. Who better to teach her than her outgoing, magnetic best friend Jonny - who happens to be the aforementioned crush?...Anyone. Almost anyone else would have been a better option.

My shock in this moment is illogical.

Years ago, I analyzed the data sets-our friendship, our emails, my emotional turmoil, Jonny's lack thereof-and there was only one logical conclusion to be found. It arrived in my consciousness suddenly, during what I dramatically named my Summer of Anguish. (Dramatics are to be expected of a seventeen-year-old girl.) I sat up on the couch in my dorm room in a moment of scientific clarity.

I was irrationally in love with my best friend, Jonny Canton.

And that love was going to ruin my life.

Now, here I am, my legs itching from contact dermatitis due to the dust on the engineered wood floor. I should not be surprised. Yet I am. Because I never expected or imagined this.

**This 50K word standalone is a smart, steamy, hysterical best-friends-to-lovers contemporary romance. It is a prequel to the Heartlanders Series, featuring this couples' five daughters.**
