Strung Along - Hannah Cowan

nLove. Sucks. n n nn nI don't know where I went wrong.

Whether it was letting a man convince me that suddenly, the things I've never wanted are right for me, or if simply believing the best in the person who I wasted three years of my life on was what lead me here. n n nn nTo Cherry Peak. A small town nestled in the heart of Alberta, Canada.

n n nn nThe hometown of rising country star, Brody Steele. n n nn nIt only takes one brief encounter to mark him as a broody jerk. An all-knowing, arrogant celebrity with a complex I don't have the energy for.

n n nn nBut if I truly dislike him the way I've convinced myself I do, then why am I always looking for him in crowded rooms? Why are his surprisingly thoughtful gestures melting the wall of ice I've stuck between us? n n nn nCherry Peak was supposed to be my fresh start, a place to heal and rebuild.

Yet, just as I begin piecing my life back together, Brody's preparing to leave, as if he hasn't become a vital part of that journey. n n nn nThe thought of losing him keeps me up at night. I don't know if we'll ever be able to find our footing, or if we were just stringing each other along the whole time.
