CAN THE NEWEST MAN ON THE MOUNTAIN CONVINCE THIS SMALL TOWN WAITRESS HE CAN PROTECT HER?
Aurora
Working at my best friendʼs wedding is bittersweet, because, while Iʼm happy for her, I know she has something I never will: a man who loves her. To make matters worse, the quiet man who is the focus of all my girlhood dreams hardly knows I exist, even if my friends insist otherwise. But all that changes the moment he sees the marks left on my face from my no-good brother.

For the last three years, Aurora has served my food without ever knowing how obsessed I am with her. Resigned to silent adoration, I keep away until a purple bruise on her cheek draws my rage. Unfortunately, sheʼs too proud to ask for help, so I force the issue by kidnapping her and bringing her to my home, hoping to talk some sense into her. As the days pass, my restraint weakens, until I canʼt hold back anymore. Come to find out, she canʼt either.
Can this well-intending kidnapper convince the townʼs waitress his love is real?
