Take a Chance on Me: A Single Dad Small Town Romance (All I Want Book 6)
Page 25
“You would think the multiple police cars chasing her with lights and sirens would have clued her in.”
I snorted, “It clued her in enough to throw her drugs out the window.”
“Why do we get the crazy clients?” Ashley sighed. “They expect us to work miracles.”
“I know. I was hoping my clients would be tamer here than in the city.” When I left my hometown I vowed never to live in a small town again. I’d grown up in my parents’ footsteps. They were the golden couple in my high school, popular and social. I was the opposite, quiet and studious. It baffled my parents, the teachers, and the gossips in town. I left for college and never looked back. In the city, I could blend in. Then my boss transferred me here. With a population of five hundred, it was small. A new resident was a curiosity and I felt the stares as I walked through town. It reminded me so much of my childhood, I was anxious to return to the city.
“You would think. Hey, did you talk to Samantha about renting the apartment above the bakery?”
“No, but I need to. I can’t stay at the inn for three months.” This was the other issue with a small town. There were no apartment buildings, so there were few options for short-term rentals. I was filling in for a coworker who was out on maternity leave and only needed to survive the next three months. Then I could go back to the city.
“I’ll walk over with you after work to talk to her. Okay?”
I nodded in agreement as she picked up her ringing phone.
“Emma and Luke are complete opposites, even down to their professions. But it makes for an entrancing romance. Add in the mystery of someone sending threatening text messages and trying to scare Emma out of town and this book becomes an absolute page-turner!”
