I've been in love with Maya Garcia since I saw her for the first time in seventh grade. I know it's cliche, and I know it sounds unrealistic, but I swear it's the truth. She was everything I wanted in a girl and more, and It didn't take more than three hours for me to figure that out. Maya was feisty, outspoken, confident, and she didn't change herself for anyone. She was undoubtedly herself, and it was intoxicating. She was perfect. But there was just one tiny thing getting in the way of having her all to myself: Maya Garcia just so happened to be my sister's best friend, which made her completely, one hundred percent off limits. What are the fucking odds, right? _____ Part of the Hidden Attraction series! You do NOT need to read the other books beforehand, however, I recommend it to avoid spoilers in the comments :) 1. My Brother's Best Friend 2. In Five Years 3. The Perfect Timing

Her cute button nose scrunched up like a bunny's nose in confusion. It was one of my favorite habits of hers. I sighed. "A long time ago, I said to myself that I wouldn't dare bring an angel like you into my hell, but I did." "I'm no angel, but your hell is my heaven."

"Basically, it means the transporter of goods by cart or wagon, it's from an old french word I believe. You wanna know yours?" "You looked up mine?"
