After All

Amelie Evans hates crowds. Loud noises, too many people crushed into a small space, people touching herits just too much. For years, her family and those closest to her called her weird. Crazy. Strange. But she isnt any of those things. Okay, maybe she is a little different, but it makes her endearing and quirky, not weird.

One night, in the middle of a club in Nashville, a man shed never met causes a shift in her reality, and Amelie finds herself craving the touch of Carter Ortiz, a musician and the friend of a friend. His touch gives her tingles instead of prickles, shivers instead of shudders. When Amelies rudimentary small-talk skills dont immediately turn Carter off, they share a dance or five, but too quickly, her normal apprehension catches up with her.

A flat tire and a missing phone create the perfect solution for Carter to swoop in and save the dayfor the second time. A drive in the country, a make-out sesh under the stars, and a night of really great sex arent enoughfor either of them.

Will Carters confession the morning after change Amelies mind, or will she laugh at the absurdness of it all and bask in his touch a little longer?
