UnWanted (West Family #3)


M. Piper - 2018
    They were my best friends, but they made my dating life difficult. I probably didn’t help it either, only picking the losers that broke my heart more times than I’d like to admit. So I pulled the trigger two years ago and left home for a bigger and better life where I wasn’t being shadowed by all my past mistakes. I thought that I’d get out and do something with my life. Living in the Windy City is easy, right? Wrong. All I got in that city was a handful of mistakes to add to the list. That is, until I was handed off to Nico. Nico, the nephew of my sleazeball boss and absolutely the last thing I was looking for. He saved me that night, and as the infatuation grew between us, so did my realization that Chicago isn’t where I belong. So when I move back home, without the one person that I’ve grown pretty addicted to, things are rough to say the least. And yet again, my relationship abilities are put to the test when a long distance relationship becomes too much for me to handle. I want to blame it all on someone else, but the reality is I’M JUST NOT CUT OUT FOR THIS SHIT. This is a standalone from M. Piper. This book is part of the West Family series but does not have to be read in order.
