Synopsis
Do you choose
your dream job—or the guy you’ve always wanted?
Three years ago
Hannah met a sexy surfer while on vacation in Westport, WA. After a
whirlwind summer romance, he ghosts. She’s tried to move on, but no other guy
has ever measured up. And now she comes face to face with him on the
first day of her new internship. To make matters worse, he’s one of her
managers, and he has no idea who she is.
Matt’s tired of
being the third wheel around his friends, especially when he was the only one
who ever wanted a girlfriend. And then Hannah Glover shows back up in his
life—the girl who simultaneously made him want a relationship and ruined him
for anyone else without him even realizing it. He wants her now more than
ever, but she doesn’t trust him after the way he ended things before.
Which should be fine since he’s her manager at his first job out of
college, and their company has a strict no fraternization policy. But
Matt just can’t seem to help himself where she’s concerned. And she won’t
be an intern forever, right?
Will he be able
to convince Hannah to give them another shot? Or will their past and
their present conspire to keep them apart?

Excerpt
His smile grew
bigger. “You seem a little nervous.”
She chuckled.
“Yeah, a little.” She waved a hand around. “I’m just not sure what to expect
here. What this is. What you want, exactly.”
His fingers
flexed on her hips again. “Just you. Just this. Us. Another chance.” His voice
dropped lower. “I missed you.”
Hannah’s breath
stopped in her throat at that declaration. At least Matt didn’t mince words.
That hadn’t changed. He’d always been direct with her, especially about the
fact that he wanted her, from the very beginning. But she pulled away and
turned toward the couch, shaking her head. “You missed me, huh? Really?”
She turned back
to him, arms crossed over her chest and eyes narrowed. The coffee table stood
between them now, providing a needed barrier. His hands on her body and his
lips on her skin short-circuited her brain. And that statement from the guy
who’d just left her hanging was ridiculous.
He stuffed his
hands into his pockets, his face serious. “Yeah. I did.”
She tilted her
head, one eyebrow creeping up her forehead. “Since when? Yesterday? Friday? Or
before?”
At least he had
the grace to look sheepish at the last question. One hand came up to rub the
back of his neck, and he dropped his gaze for a moment before looking her in
the eyes again. “Look, I’m sorry about what happened before. About the way
things ended.”
Hannah snorted.
“Ended? You mean the way you left me hanging?”
He nodded.
“Yeah, it was a dick move. I’m sorry. Really, I am. I was young and stupid, and
I didn’t realize what I was giving up when I let you go like that.”
“You didn’t let
me go, Matt. You ghosted me. At least if you’d had the balls to end things I
would’ve had some closure.”
He nodded again,
his mouth twisted in a grimace, his blue eyes pained. “I know. Believe me, I’ve
regretted it since I realized you’d stopped emailing me me, and I didn’t know
what to do about it or how to make it up to you, especially with you still in
high school three hours away and planning on going to college on the other side
of the state. I figured it was better for both of us to just let it go. It was
shitty of me to treat you that way and not have the balls to have a hard
conversation, and for that I’m so sorry.” He took a step around the coffee
table so he could get close to her, but she moved away and held up a hand.
“Please, Hannah. I am sorry. Do you want me to beg?”
