Description
There was this boy... That's how it always starts; the high school summer romance. He was popular, I wasn't. We were friends. Then he kissed me senseless. Evan and I haven't seen or heard from each other in five years. Call me petty, but I'm not about to answer the hollow apologies of a boy who took my V-Card and then bolted the next morning. I'm not that shy girl anymore. I'm a badass bitch. You have to be to work in prison. That's the cursed fate of everyone in my small-town high school. My whole family has prison in their blood. Why shouldn't I follow? The pay is good, the clients are...interesting...and there's nobody there who can possibly break my heart. Until the gray-green eyes and panty-dropping smile of Evan Bishop reappear in a way I never thought possible. -- There was this girl... She was the one interesting thing in Carlisle. Smart, funny, and loyal. It was a side Jenny never showed anyone but me. I tried so hard to charm her, get her to believe that I liked her. I'd done a damn fine job, too. Until she walked away and I never saw her again. So I drown in work and women, trying desperately to convince myself I made the right decision all those years ago. That I'm making it now. Even though slander follow me around like a dark cloud in these steel and concrete walls. I come in, do my job, go home. I don't want any more smoke. Then there's that girl again. Only she's not a girl anymore. This time, I don't intend to let her walk away. Dual POV Story Set in Corrections & Rehabilitation environment *contains mature language and situations
