Hazel One day, he changed. Wylder went from being my best guy friend and secret crush, to avoiding me, and then came flat-out rejection. With a broken heart, I left town. I’m back now, and those high school days are long gone. And this time, I’m tired of going unnoticed. Only, he’s not budging. So, what’s a girl to do? I make a pact with my girlfriends to get over my unrequited love. If he doesn’t help me use the fantasy kit, someone else will. Of course, that’s when he notices me. But not for the reason I want. He’s only trying to save me from doing something he thinks is stupid. Too bad the real stupid thing is opening my heart up for another rejection. All Stripped Down is a standalone smoldering ex-friends-to-lovers, second chance contemporary romance set in Alexia Chase’s Sinfully Addictive World.
