When We First Met

School's out for the summer and public school teacher, Cat LaFievre, is ready to blow off some steam. A few nights of no-strings, mindless distraction with a sexy guy is exactly what she needs. Lucky for her, the perfect specimen lives across the hall from her. He's gorgeous, a little ridiculous, and, according to a neighbor, very good at sex. Quentin Foster has had a thing for Cat since they hit if off a few months ago. She's smart, funny, and loves exploring the neighborhood-just like him. He thought he had a shot…until she admits she's interested in hooking up with his clueless chick-magnet roommate. Cat thought she needed a fling. But as their connection deepens, Cat realizes Quentin might be the real thing. Thing is, she may have ruined her shot with him… Forever Yours series: - When We First Met (prequel novella) - Just a Heartbeat Away - Can't Help Falling - Flirting with Forever "An utterly satisfying and delicious read.
