Shy Girl

Dagny:

Once upon a time, I thought my stutter was the worst thing that ever happened to me. But now I know better.

Being held at gunpoint outranks a speech impediment any day.

Thankfully, my longtime crush Jayson Hernandez tackled that problem to the ground with those broad shoulders—the ones that make my stutter oh-so-much-worse.

As if he hasn’t held my heart in his strong, capable hands ever since I adored him from the shadows in high school. Or every day he comes into the coffee shop with a new date. Or each time he shoots me a friendly smile that makes my toes curl.

Then he proposes something so insane it’s my heart that starts to stutter. And I can’t turn him down, even though I want to.

Because there’s a part of me that still believes I’m Cinderella too. And oh, how I want him to realize he’s Prince Charming after all.

Jayson:

My friends are the best guys anyone could ask for. They’ve always had my back. Except . . . they’re pretty hard to impress.

The last thing I want to do is let them down, especially when the first of our group of four is getting married. I can’t show up to that wedding by myself, but I don’t have anyone to take with me that could gain their approval.

Enter Dagny Taylor.

She’s quiet, reads people like a book, and isn’t afraid to say it like it is—when I can get her to talk, that is. I’ve done some pretty wild things in my life, but now I’m about to do the craziest thing yet. Because there’s a princess hiding beneath that thick armor, and I can’t wait to find her.

That is . . . if she’ll let me.

SHY GIRL is the fifth book in the Coffee Shop Series. It can be read as a standalone, but maximum enjoyment comes from starting at the beginning. This is a sweet-but-spicy romance with no sex-scenes and a guaranteed happily-ever-after.
