For the smartest girl in her grad class, Jeannie made a pretty stupid mistake. One that she's spent ten years coming back from. Voted Most Likely to End up in Jail, Phoenix did one better. He's spent the past ten years being dead! ? Phoenix My high school years were as grim and gritty as could be, so when the opportunity to disappear presented itself, I grabbed it with both fists and didn't look back. Ten years later, I've mellowed and I'm searching for a place to put down roots, craving the friends I left behind, and the family and home I never had. What I didn't expect? To reunite with my high school crush Jeannie. Turns out she's got a little baggage of her own that throws a big curve in my plans She wants nothing to do with me, an embarrassing reminder of her biggest mistake. I see this as a gift, an opportunity to have everything I'm looking for and more. And ten years in the special forces has given me the confidence, determination and skills to get whatever I want. I'm not giving up until I get it. Jeannie I had my life all planned. Yeah, I was that girl. Type A, Honour Roll, the apple of my family's eye, my ambitious career paved in gold. Voted Most Likely to Win a Nobel Prize - in Mathematics no less! One huge swerve later and I'm living a very different life. I went from Prodigy to Prodigal Daughter overnight. Resolutely independent single mother, self-educated, self-employed, and self-determining, I don't rely on anyone. My mistake; my problem. That's how I see it. Now, the last accomplishment that will take me back where I belong is finally within reach. What I don't expect when I finally return to my hometown? To reconnect with the guy I thought I'd never, and I mean never, see again. Why? Because he was dead. Now he won't leave me alone, despite my determination to avoid him. Once again, the best-laid plans go wildly off course with unexpected, and unlikely consequences. The Most UNLIKELY To series books are full-length, character-driven, adult contemporary romance novels. They can each be read as stand-alones, or read in order to experience the story chronologically. More rom than com, with a little steam, they're perfect for fans of Christina Lauren, Mhairi Macfarlane or Helena Hunting's single titles!
