Forbidden Love, Part One by Jenna West

We might’ve been perfect if he wasn’t so rude and mean all the time.

MARSHALL
The moment that Zane told me that Trisha was back in town, I knew that there was only one thing I wanted.
Revenge.
But it’s hard to get revenge on someone who doesn’t even know what they did.
And when that person’s staring back at you from the frame of a curvy, grown, gorgeous woman …the lines between hate and something else blur.
It’s not just lust that pulls me toward her, it’s something else. Something stronger. I can’t deny it.

TRISHA
When I came back to the small town of cedar cove to spend my vacation with my brother, I wanted time to relax and wind down.
Instead, I learned that he was leaving town…leaving me with his hot best friend.
I’d had a crush on Marshall since we were both kids.
But now that he’s an extremely HOT man, there’s nobody else that compares to him.
We might’ve been perfect if he wasn’t so rude and mean all the time.
Even still, I can’t help but be drawn to him.
There’s something between us, I can feel it. I can’t deny it.
