    About this ebook

    When we were in high school together, I had a huge crush on Jackson Carter. He never even knew I existed. 

    
Fast forward seven years, and guess who's back in our hometown? Yep. And he's even hotter than ever. What's more, now he's noticed me.


    When my best friend sets me up with Jackson, I know the sparks are going to fly. But I'm also determined to stick to my third date rule: no nookie until we've gone out on three real dates.


    Can I hold out that long, when this guy is everything I ever desired? And will Jackson think I'm worth the wait?


    Time to find out.

      Crush

      Tell me I’m your best friend.

      Natalie bumped her shoulder into my back as she joined me at the bar. I caught her teasing words as she shot me a bright smile.

      Of course, you’re my best friend. Who else has known me since I was fourteen and has all the dirt on me? I paused, my glass of wine halfway to my lips. Wait a minute. Why are you my best friend? I mean, why do I need to say that right now? What’ve you done?

      "Oh, honey, what haven’t I done? Nat caught the eye of the bartender, pointing first to my glass and then to herself. Satisfied that wine was on the way, she turned back to me. Don’t stop and think about it—just answer this question with the first name that pops into your head. Who did you lust after during all four years of
