She needs an escort. He’s the plus-one.
Can one night convince her he’s the only one?
Beauty is pain—or so says Kate’s mother—and she has the scar to prove it. But when perfection is the standard, sacrifices have to be made. She just never thought her boyfriend would insist that their relationship be one of them. When she needs an escort to a gala she’s planning, she agrees to ask someone else. Unfortunately, there is only one other guy she can think of to ask, and her roommate calls him Mr. Baseball Cap. Not exactly black-tie material. At least that’s what she thought until Steve showed up at her apartment looking like he had walked off of a magazine cover. When a betrayal leaves her reeling, their friends-only arrangement has a chance to become something more—if she opens her eyes in time to see the one who has been there all along.
Steve recognized Kate as soon as she walked into his bookstore looking for a job. Too bad she didn’t recognize him. It was high school all over again. And once again, she’s hanging around the wrong guy—this time, an arrogant art professor who has a reputation for playing the field. When Kate invites him to a black-tie gala, he realizes this is the chance he has been waiting for, even if it means trading his baseball cap for a tuxedo. As one dance turns into another and their connection grows, he’s sure of two things: Kate is hiding something, and there’s no way he’s letting her slip through his fingers again. He held Kate’s hand when they were kids. What will it take to convince her to let him hold her heart now?
Until Now is a prequel novella to the Wildflower Lake series.
