Tough Love

by Stephanie Stoker

All of their neighbors know that Ginny Parker and Conan Blackwater have been inseparable since they were kids. But their friendship has always been a rollercoaster of love and hate, with Ginny's grumpiness clashing against Conan's eternal optimism. She's confined to a wheelchair while he's free to roam the world. She's afraid of the outside while he embraces every adventure. And now, after a decade of avoiding each other, Conan is determined to break down Ginny's walls and get her back into the world of the living.

But it won't be easy. Ginny's stubbornness is legendary, and she has no intention of letting Conan disrupt her wallowing in self-pity. Plus, she's always seen him as just her best friend and neighbor, not a potential love interest. But Conan isn't one to back down from a challenge, especially when he's been in love with Ginny for years.

As Conan tries to navigate through Ginny's resistance, he's faced with a new obstacle - how to make her see him as a man, not just the boy next door. But he's not giving up, determined to show her that tough love is exactly what she needs to rediscover herself.

About the author

Hey! I'm Stephanie. I love writing funny, sweet, and aww-worthy romance books. I'm a firm believer that there's nothing a little love or laughter can't fix.
When I'm not writing, I'm mom-ing hard core or sleeping. While mom-ing, I like to make sourdough, spend time outside, and teach my kids how to be independent, happy little humans--a huge work in progress but we're getting there.
