Lost Girl vs Wounded Boy by Jordan Ford

They’ve crossed the line from friendship into romance, but can they figure out how to navigate this new terrain without losing what they once had?

STACEY:
I kissed him too quickly.
Why am I always so impulsive?
Hayden’s the greatest. My best friend. And now we’re… well, I don’t know what we are.
He wants to be my boyfriend, but after everything I went through with Jonas I don’t know if I’m ready, especially after our disastrous first date. Are we jumping into this too soon?
I wish I could tell Hayden some of what I’m feeling, but I can’t stand the thought of him knowing what Jonas did to me. It’s so humiliating, and I don’t want Hayden to start looking at me differently.
But he’s jumping to the wrong conclusions. And maybe I’m letting him, because maybe it’d be easier to be just friends with a guy who’s really not my type.
I wish my heart wouldn’t hurt so much when I think that.
I don’t want to lose Hayden.
But I don’t know how to keep him either.
