A False Start

How swoony

Griffin is Nadia's brother's best friend, who is 14 years older than her.
They first met in a bar bathroom and shared a spontaneous kiss, and then never saw each other again until a year or two later

Both have demons and pasts they are working to separate from.

Griffin is the former town golden boy, and is struggling to be someone worthy. He has avoidance tendencies and would rather stay away in his house in the Lou rains than face his past. Which means he doesn't feel worthy of Nadia and what she deserves

Griffin is a sweetheart. He is growly on the outside but he is a mushy romantic on the inside.

Nadia is a spitfire with attitude, just the way we like her. She fears becoming like her mother, and just wants to have a family. She finds that in Ruby Creek with her brother, and friends.

This was a cute read about getting a second chance, and a fresh start
