Trust Me: A Former Bully Small Town Romance

By Shonna Preston

After leaving her abusive husband, Chloe Wentz returns to her hometown of Cherry Grove. With just some clothing and the things she brought into the twelve-year marriage, she's forced to start again. Having spent the last decade helping her husband further his career by giving up her own, she readily accepts the management position offered to her at her stepfather's restaurant. However, on her very first day, she discovers she'll be managing the man whom she had bullied relentlessly in school.

When Seth Martin looked up to meet the new manager at the restaurant where he's a bartender, he never expected to find the person who made high school hell for him. Sixteen years after graduating, he's happy with his life. He has his own house on a piece of property on the edge of town and a job he loves. No longer is he that boy who grew up in the trailer park with smelly, worn-out clothes and no money. Now, he's worried he might lose it all if she makes his life hell at the restaurant, too.

Can Seth and Chloe navigate a professional relationship when they have such a rocky past? How will Chloe figure out who she is again after having given up so much of herself in her marriage? Will she and Seth be able to find common ground and eventually trust in one another as feelings begin to grow between them?
