The Crush
The Crush is a forbidden relationship romance novel set in a small town in Texas, laced with steamy smut and 90’s nostalgia. It follows Isabel who returns from college back to her conservative family to find Daniel, the much older son of her parents' best friends and the subject of her lifelong crush, also returned from eight years spent with the DEA. “Off-limits” doesn't come close to cutting it… and yet the two of them can't seem to stay apart.
