Small Town Sweetheart
(2027)(The third book in the Brighton Creek Brats series)
A novel by Adaline Raine
I've been Brighton Creek's sunshine for as long as anyone can remember.
Lately I've been running on fumes and a smile that doesn't quite reach my eyes.
Then Oliver Finch looked at me like he could see every single thing I'd been hiding behind the bright side.
He's quiet. Still. Says devastating things like he has all the time in the world.
He wants to court me properly. Take care of me the way I take care of everyone else.
I told him I don't beg for anything.
He smiled like he already knew better.
