Skye

My first week back from school and my car is wrecked. Now I have to put up with an obnoxious mechanic who thinks I’m dumber than a stump. Just because I come from a wealthy family doesn’t mean I’m shallow or stupid. Dorran ticks me off every time I think of him, but something’s off about his bad boy persona. Is it real or just a façade? I can’t put my finger on it. Yet.

Dorran

Every time I fix a car for some rich idiot, I end up getting the 9th degree. I can’t stand the way Skye thinks she’s better than anyone else, and I want nothing to do with her type. I accept my past mistakes and that my lot in life will never include people of her status. I’ll make a name for myself after I leave this town for good. But I always ask myself, what if things were different?

As Dorran finishes his last job before he leaves town forever, can Skye melt his heart before it’s too late?
