When I was eighteen, the only things that mattered to me were being popular and becoming prom queen. A few weeks before prom, my loser stepbrother Jeremy revealed his feelings for me and my friends came up with a humiliating plan to embarrass him on the big night. I went along with it in fear of losing my popularity by defending him. After that night, I vowed never to treat anyone so poorly again. If only that vow was enough to make it up to Jeremy. Fast-forward six years later and I'm up to my eyeballs in debt. The only person I can think of who could possibly help me is Jeremy—who became vastly rich after high school with the start-up of his software company. I can only hope he’ll see how much I’ve changed from the person I was in high school. What I didn’t expect was how much he had changed. Second Chance is a steamy, standalone short story with no cliffhanger and a HEA.
