A BBW Romance

Ryley
It all started back in high school. The moment my eyes fell on him from across the crowded cafeteria. How could I not spot him? He was one of the tallest boys in school. Whatever gossip my best friend, Thea, prattled about in my ear faded along with the cacophony of voices sitting at the round tables spread throughout the large room...

Ethan
Panic. That's the only way I can describe myself right now. Absolute, heart-wrenching panic. When Ryley Dorsey's mom called, I suspected it would involve checking on me after my dad passed as she did when my mom died.
But, no. She drops a bombshell bigger than anything I see coming...


All Ryley Dursey ever wanted was to earn the attention of the hottest guy in Buchanan High School. Ethan Ryder is every teenage girl's dream. But Ryley doesn't feel she's what Ethan deserves. Something happens the day before Ryley decides she wants to go to law school in New York. Ethan confesses he wants to give the two of them a chance. However, Ryley has already decided. She leaves Buchanan, makes a career for herself and thinks she has a chance to climb up the ladder at the firm she's at. Reality soon sets in that Ryley isn't what her boss wants in a woman. Broken hearted, she leaves New York to return to Buchanan. Ethan Ryder is there, waiting for her and he's more than determined not to let the one who got away, get away again.
