Addicted to Love

2021

Motherless and living with a father who would rather get high, than move off the couch and get a job, Tammy Reuben has always been trailer trash. And she’s never been ashamed of that fact, until now. Rich boy Luke Anderson is everything she hates. Privileged, arrogant and completely unaware of life on the other side of the tracks. So when he strides into the record store she works in, why does he make her feel uncomfortable in her own skin? And why does he make her feel like she has potential to be something more? Put that Aqua Net away and slip into something a little more comfortable with one of twelve couples as they fall in love in Pine Grove.
