Prima Donna (Friends First)

USA TODAY best selling author, Laura Drewry, brings the next book in her small town contemporary series, Friends First.Even with her business closing and her mom’s stack of medical bills getting higher, Regan isn’t about to admit she’s anything other than that four-letter F-word: fine. She’s never relied on anyone else to help her out, and she’s not about to start now, no matter how desperate things get. All she needs is a job - any job - to get her back on her feet; she doesn’t have the time or energy to focus on anything else, especially a relationship that needs attention and nurturing. There couldn’t possibly be a worse time for someone like Carter Scott to start nudging his way into her life and distracting her with his sexy smile and gentle disarming ways. But have mercy, what that man’s touch does to her!Carter doesn’t do long-term anything. His scars run too deep for him to believe in any kind of forever, and because of that, because he knows time is a finite fleeting thing, he does what he wants to make himself happy. This thing with Regan is only supposed to be one night, but she’s hiding some pretty deep scars of her own, too, and now all he can think about is what he can do to make her life a little easier.By accepting Carter’s help, Regan will have to rip open old scars and leave herself vulnerable, something she swore she’d never do. No one understands this better than Carter, and even though it’ll be more pain than he’s ever felt before, he also understands that loving Regan may well mean letting her go.
