She does NOT wanna be here...
There might be a few things worse than attending your 10 year high school reunion...colonoscopy prep? Brazilian wax? But right now, Lauren Desantos can't be sure. Because she doesn't have many happy memories of how high school ended. Especially because, as she was crowned Queen of the Prom, her boyfriend and King--Seth Crowder--was a no-show. He disappeared without a word, leaving her standing there on the stage alone, and she never saw him again. Which means she sure doesn't want to now.
But who's standing right behind her?
Seth Crowder came to this reunion for one reason only: to get a chance to explain what happened to Lauren, the girl he'd once loved and had never gotten over. Their prom night was supposed to end with them finally consummating their relationship, but his screwed-up parents had ruined that plan, along with the next several years of his life. So when he found out Lauren was coming to the reunion, he made a whole new plan: Find her, talk to her, try to get her to forgive him, and give him a shot to win her all over again.
It's gonna take a lot of talking--and some serious seduction skills--to win over this former prom queen...but her king is more than up for the challenge.
