FIRST YEAR

by A.J. Randles

After five long years of living in Hawaii with her grandma, Annabella Parker is back in sunny south Florida. When her father plans a huge party to celebrate her nineteenth birthday and return home, the night doesn’t go exactly as planned. The dress, the shoes, the booze, and an unexpected trip on the stairs, puts her on the best path for a fall…right into the arms of a tall, buff, handsome man. And not just any man. Her father’s right-hand man and security specialist for his company. Shawn is incredibly hot, built like a Greek God, successful, and way out of her league. Not to mention off limits. As Bella navigates her return home, college courses, a part-time job at a sketchy company, friendships – new and old – and a romance she never expected, she begins to feel like things are finally looking up. But Bella is stubborn and one wrong decision could mean the end to everything.

Annabella Parker lost her mother when she was very young and her father, Tommy Parker, did the best he could to raise her right. When Bella hit her teenage years, Tommy realized she needed a strong female role model in her life, so he packed her up and sent her to live in Hawaii with her grandmother. After five long years, Bella is back in sunny South Florida and getting reacquainted with old friends. To welcome his daughter home, Tommy throws Bella a "Welcome Home" and "Happy 19th Birthday" party. Her whole world is flipped upside down when Bella meets Shawn, Tommy's best friend and right hand man at his company. As their friendship blossoms, Bella juggles her college courses, new job, friends, and the possibility of a love to last a lifetime. One bad decision and Bella's stubbornness could mean the end of everything.
