Lissa’s not a rule-breaker. But how can she stop herself? Breaking the rules with Bowie might mean finding love and happiness—and it might also save her…
Obviously, Lissa and Bowie are not together. Obviously.
First of all, she’s a cheerleader for the Woodsmen football team and he’s a starter on the defensive line—and they’re not even allowed to socialize, let alone have a relationship of any kind. That’s why she keeps it a secret when they meet at her sister’s wedding, when he swoops in to help her, a stranger in distress. He’s just like a knight riding in on a white horse, except that he has a ponytail and tattoos and drives her in his pickup truck.
There’s a second reason that Lissa and Bowie can’t even be friends: she’s with someone else, Ward. He’s more than just a boyfriend, since she knows that she has to marry him. Really, she doesn’t have a choice in the matter, even though…well, Ward scares her. For good reason.
And in comparison, Bowie is so fun that hanging out together feels like a vacation. He’s so genuinely nice, so genuinely genuine! How could a woman resist a strong, handsome, professional football player who also knows how to wield a hammer and a screwdriver? How could she stop herself from melting over a guy who wants to learn to dance and always has a smile for her? How can she keep away from the man that she wants to be with all the time?
She just can’t do it. But solutions to the problems that separate them take her in a different direction from the one she was steering in before. Lissa might even be heading toward danger, and is the risk worth it? If it means that she’ll end up with Bowie, how far should she go?
