An Alpha Nerd & Curvy Woman Second Chance Romance Kristin Cheer captain, student council president, homecoming queen—that was me. I was so good at holding myself together. Until ten years, two kids, and one ugly divorce later, and I fell apart. Now I’m putting the pieces back together. I need to take care of myself and my kids. And find a way to give my cooled-off journalism career a hot boost. An interview with research scientist Jonathan Wells? Ugh. If only my boss would stop assigning me fluff pieces… Jonathan I was pictured next to the hottest girl in school as “Most Likely to Succeed,” but that’s the extent of the attention I got in high school. Now I’m working my dream job exploring potential cancer vaccines. Getting paid well for it too. And the women…well, I no longer struggle in that department. I might’ve done anything for a chance with Kristin Max in high school. But that was years ago. She didn’t even know who I was back then. She still has no idea. ***SMARTASS is a short, steamy, happily-ever-after romance. No cliffhangers, no cheating! This is a standalone insta-love story with high heat and All The Feels.***
