Previously published in The Vault anthology Chelsea My goal while I'm home from college for the summer is to figure out what I want for my future. And avoid Liam Donovan at all costs for the short time I'm here. Then, I leap before I think and put myself in the middle of a mess I can't escape. Now, I have no idea what to expect. I didn't think my life would take the turn it does. How can one summer change everything? Liam My best friend's daughter is beautiful. Confident. Sweet. And still a virgin. She offers herself to me as payment for her father's debt. This isn't what I expect. She was never part of the deal. But now, she's in my home. Claiming my mind. Occupying my bed. I realize she's exactly what I want. What I need. She's the only reason I'm adjusting the deal.
