California Dreamin’ by Saffron A. Kent

Everyone thinks Dean Collins is too old for Fallon Blackwood. Her parents, her friends, even Dean himself. In fact, he wants her to date guys her own age. But Fallon doesn’t care about that. All she cares about is that she can’t take her eyes off Dean, her neighbor, her best friend, the guy who taught her to ride a bike and to climb trees. And sometimes Dean can’t take his eyes off her, either. And sometimes he looks at her like he wants to kiss her. So it doesn’t matter that he’s thirty-two and she’s eighteen.All that matters is that they belong with each other, and she needs to convince him of that.Good thing they’re taking a cross-country road trip together, right?California to New York; three thousand miles and a love story in the making…** This was released as a part of Mixtape Anthology.
