Description
Cali Parker is poor. She has a lot on her plate – her father is dying, she’s working to help pay the rent, and she’s two-years behind in college.
Griffin Brooks is rich. He has not a care in the world – he’s acing his engineering courses, his hobby is restoring his fifty-thousand dollar classic car, and he has a different girl on his arm every week.
When Cali sees Griffin on her first day of class, she’s immediately smitten and thinks she’s found the perfect guy. When Griffin sees Cali at the bank, he immediately forgets the blonde he was with that morning. Then they meet, and their worlds collide.
Cali doesn’t belong in Griffin’s world, and he doesn’t understand hers. But just when Griffin convinces Cali that their two different worlds can blend, a secret is revealed that tears them apart.
Is their love strong enough to bring them back together, or will their worlds drift further apart?
Book excerpt
“You can take this one of two ways, Calista,” I cut her off. “You can sulk about it and let it eat at your pride that someone needed to help you… to pull you off of that sinking ship before it went completely under. Or you can swallow your pride, accept it with dignity, and know that someone loved you enough to want to help. ‘Cause Calista, you were drowning out there… and because I love you so much… you were pulling me under with you.” He sits back and breathes again. “I had the lifeboat, sweetheart… and I’d have been damned if I went off without saving us both.”
