BLURB The boy who always felt like mine is now the man I can't have… Dig a little and you'll find photos of me in the bathtub with Ezra Stern. Get your mind out of the gutter. We were six months old. Pry and one of us might confess we saved our first kiss for each other. The most clumsy, wet, sloppy . . . spectacular thirty seconds of my adolescence. Get into our business and you'll see two families, closer than blood, torn apart in an instant.

But we didn't come this far to give up now. And I know just the move to make if I want to make him mine. MY REVIEW Kimba Allen and Ezra Stern grew up across the street from each other. They ...
