Book 2 in the Snowfall Valley Series
Zoey Riggs had her suspicions about her high school sweetheart. But she didn't think those suspicions would be confirmed in the ER on New Year's Eve after her boyfriend wrecked her vintage Corvette... while getting a blow job. Now she's alone and ... a little unhinged.
Stephen Gill was supposed to take a break from programming a new GPS. Instead, he took the street view car out for a cross-country road trip to fill in their dead spaces. But one deer in his headlights and the car is wrecked. And what do you do when you've had a shit day? You get drunk at the restaurant next door to the mechanic, Zoey's shop.
With nowhere else to put her new, drunk client, Zoey lets Stephen crash at her place. And when her ex shows up the next morning, Stephen tries to help out. By pretending to be her boyfriend. And that sparks an idea. Zoey promises to get her revenge by making her ex's life a living hell, beating him at his drag race, and rubbing her new (fake) man in his face. And Stephen happily tags along, whether it's a road trip in a stolen car, breaking into the newspaper office, or tagging the whole town with scandalous bumper stickers.
But the fun can only last for so long. So what happens when Zoey admits she needs to move on and Stephen's car is back up and running?
Content warnings: sexually explicit scenes, heavy mentions of a cheating ex, moderate depiction of loss of a parent, and a minor scene with an officer/sheriff that does not end in conflict
Tropes: revenge schemes, forced proximity, small town
