Perfect for You
Release Date:
September 2014
Swoon Romance
Sophomore year in high school comes with its own set of problems. You're no longer a freshmen, but you're still two years away from ruling the school. So, you sit and languish in a kind of purgatory until junior year, when things start to get interesting.
That is, unless during your sophomore year, you find your boyfriend making out with another girl in front of your locker. Then, interesting takes on a whole new meaning, and that's what happened to seventeen-year-old Meg Flannigan. It's no wonder her self-esteem suffered a major hit.
Now a senior, Meg catches the eye of not one, but two guys at school (I know, right?). They happen to both be gorgeous, and each vies for her attention in the most flattering of ways. Sounds good, right? Not if one of the guys is her boyfriend, and the other one wants to be.
Meg doesn’t want to lose Ash. They’ve been together for almost five months, and she’s falling in love with him. But Noah. Ah, Noah. He’s the irresistible guy Meg has been crushing on for two years, and she isn’t ready to send him away either. But stringing both along could have disastrous results, leaving Meg in the cold once again.
One thing's certain. Meg needs to decide between Ash and Noah soon, or she'll lose her perfect match forever.
PERFECT FOR YOU was released previously as two novellas. Ashleyn wanted to give her readers more, and has decided to write an entire novel based around Meg's story.
As the sun lowers in the sky, I lie back
on the tennis court and think about Ash. After five months, my stomach still
gets butterflies every time I see him. His touch makes me want to smother his
lips with mine, and he has a way of making me feel like I’m the only girl in
the world—at least to him. He’s perfect in just about every way.
“You’re tense, Flannigan. I can tell,”
Noah says, his head mere inches from mine. He turns to give me one of his
killer one-dimple smiles and I melt, the way I have since I first laid eyes on
him two years ago.
Why did he have to wait until now to
show an interest in me? I’m falling in love with Ash. I know I am. But Noah…
“Am I making you nervous?” Noah invades
my personal space, something he’s made a habit of doing over the past week.
He’s the best player on the guy’s tennis team, and he’s helping me improve my
game. We get along really well because we have a lot in common, but we’re just
friends. That’s all, because that’s all we can be. He leans forward, and I
forget to breathe as our faces get closer and closer. Is he going to kiss me?
He reaches one hand behind my back and lifts me closer to him. He is going to
kiss me! Holy crap! I can’t do this.
“Noah, I—”
Before I can finish, he’s pushing me
back down again, and I feel a tennis ball under my shoulder blade.
“Now lie still for a few minutes,
relaxing the muscles around the ball. It should get rid of that tension. You’ve
probably got a knot from all the extra practice you’ve been putting in.”
Yeah, but it’s not the knot in my
shoulder I’m worried about. It’s the one in my stomach. The one that formed
when I thought Noah was going to kiss me, and I didn’t really want to stop him.
This is bad. I shouldn’t be here. I
shouldn’t be in a situation where I think a guy might kiss me.
Where I think I
might let him. Ash doesn’t deserve this.
