Singled Out by Veronica Blade
A quick, sweet story. Perfect for when you just want to "get away from it all" for an hour or so with a short, fun read.

location: Amazon, The United States
description: First time ever FREE, a YA contemporary romance.

*** Very short story. Appx 40 pages.***

Brittany’s short-lived fling with the insanely hot Wyatt left her seething, despite still liking him. Since he barely glances her way anymore, going to prom alone seems far better than going with some loser. But Brittany's well-intentioned friends haven’t given up on Wyatt, and they’re intensifying their matchmaking tactics!

Ann said: Doesn't seem to be free today--maybe tomorrow?
