Already Callin’ You Mine by Claire Hastings

It was not my proudest moment—starting a rumor that made everyone shun the new girl in town. In my defense, it was high school, and I still had a lot of growing up to do.

That’s not who I am now.
That guy probably wouldn’t recognize the romance novel-loving self-defense expert and coach I’ve become.
My interest is in helping and teaching others. And it’s time to level up my message. Reach different audiences and try new things. All with the help of the new social media manager at my family’s Fortune 500 company.
Who just so happens to be the same girl I lied about seventeen years ago.
And this time, she’s not alone.
She has a toddler in tow. One who has me wrapped around his little finger from the second we meet.
Presley, however, isn’t as taken with me. She hasn’t forgotten—or forgiven—my actions from years ago. She’s also just as un-thrilled as I am that we’re stuck working on this project.
Until one night changes everything.
Now, I only have one goal—to show her the man I have become. The man she makes me want to be. Getting her to give me a chance.
So I can call them the one thing I want more than anything—mine.
