my thirst for vengeance had been quenched by a tall, ruggedly handsome mechanic who made me laugh. Who made me see stars. Who made me . . . happy. Gah. Why couldn’t Emmett have been an asshole?

I took one step forward and held out my hand. “Emmett Stone.” A smile pulled at her mouth as one tear dripped down her cheek. She swiped it away, then slipped her hand into mine. “June Johnson.” “Nice to meet you, June.” “Nova. June is my first name but everyone I love calls me by my middle name, Nova.”
