up and looking forward to it. I might sneak a few kisses to Sylvia myself.”
“Sylvia will most definitely hold you to it and to her. She happens to have a mean crush on you, but don’t tell Will. They seem to have a pretty good thing going.”
“They do, I agree.” I spin her around until we’re standing in front of the mascot of the establishment, an old oversized black bear that stands more than ten feet tall. “I think we have a pretty good thing going too. How about a quick selfie for old times’ sake?”
She whips out her phone and snaps it. “Done and done.” Her thumbs dance across the screen like lightning, and she holds up the caption for me to see.
“Boy meets girl. Boy loses girl. Girl seeks revenge. Boy gets girl back. Revenge zero. Love plus two. Hashtag scariest photobomb ever.” My chest rumbles over her as we share a quiet laugh. “It’s perfect. Just like we are.”
“We are perfect, aren’t we? Isn’t it ironic something so whole and beautiful came from something broken? If our relationship with the two that shall not be named kept plodding along, we never would have been linked the way we were.”
“By hatred and fueled by revenge.” I nod into this. “The universe sure has its mysterious ways. I think it’s a good lesson. Next time things look like they’re in the crapper, it might just be the best thing that’s ever happened to you.”
“So essentially—hard to see at the moment.” Her cheeks turn bright pink. “Confession. That first night at the mixer when you were making me insane—I thought you were a perfect specimen. And it turns out I was right as usual.”
We share another laugh and I scoop Harper up and carry her down the street, bouncing her in my arms as we share kisses, and hopes, and dreams.
With Harper near me, all of my hopes and dreams have already come true.
I can’t wait to see what the future holds.
I know for a fact I’m holding my future.

Book Description
What do an obnoxious attorney, a coed gone wild, and a corpse have in common? Shep and Serena are about to find out the hard way.
Spending summer in Hollow Brook will be murder. …
*this is a standalone romance*
When Serena lets her roommate talk her into going to an exotic nightclub that promises to make all of her wildest dreams come true, she’s mortified to find the man behind the mask has an all too familiar obnoxious face. But it turns out Serena and Shep share more than a penchant for soft restraints—they share a propensity for trouble. Finding a corpse places Serena and Shep right at the top of the suspect list, and try as they might to unravel the mystery themselves, they discover that time has already run out for the two of them. Or has it just begun?
Once upon a Body
Serena
The place to be in Hollow Brook on a hot Friday night—and I mean hot in the most literal sense—is the Black Bear Saloon. Since the weather in Hollow Brook itself has devolved into Satan’s armpit, the Black Bear is about the only place to get decent air conditioning along with your fair share of hard bodies. It’s June. School is out and summer has descended upon us like fire-breathing cats and dogs raining down like a punishment. Everyone under the sweltering sun has arrived at the restaurant-slash-bar for a night of boozy festivities and all of the sleazy events that will ensue thereafter.
Of course,
