Admiring Avery by J.L. Leslie

Landon…
I was taught women are the weaker, inferior sex. Toss a little money at them, show them some attention, and they will spread their legs. They are money hungry whores, and they are all the same.
My father taught me this, and he warned me to never allow a woman to have control over me. Never give a woman my trust. Never give a woman my admiration.
I followed his advice…until I met Avery Randall.

Avery…
I hate everything about the small town I grew up in. Hollis is tainted with horrible memories. The place I used to love so much is ruined from the tragedy I caused, the pain I inflicted, and I can’t seem to escape from it.
I ran away a long time ago, but this place has a way of drawing you back in and not letting you go. My family needs me, only I’m not certain I can handle the pressure of being back in Hollis.
But there’s one person who tells me I can do this. Landon Steele assures me I can overcome my past. He promises me I am strong enough.
I wish I could believe him.
