NO MORE DIRTBAGS.
I’m officially closed for business.
Now and forever.
I made this silent promise to myself as my hands gripped the steering
wheel, snowflakes falling from the sky and splattering across the windshield
as I watched the road in front of me.
“I curse the ground you walk on, Dikota Smith,” I hissed to myself.
He was the reason I was even in this current situation where I’d needed to
lie to my family and borrow a car from my brother’s fiancée.

My ex-boyfriend brought the term douchebag to an all-new low.
I was grateful that Lila had loaned me her car to take to my interview, as
it was freezing in Cottonwood Cove today, and I did not want to walk.
I hadn’t told my family the truth about my car because I knew my
siblings would lose their minds, and my parents would be upset—I’d have to
figure something out in the meantime.
I’d wait him out and hope that the morally challenged dickweasel would
come to his senses and no one would be the wiser.
I’d put Dikota in my rearview, and that was exactly where I intended to
keep him—just as soon as I got my car back.
Today was a fresh start. A new beginning.
And I was here for it.
My mom had taken me shopping for a new outfit for my interview, which
she’d deemed a graduation gift, as I’d just walked at my commencement
ceremony less than a week ago.
The town was so festive this time of year. I drove down Main Street,
where lights were strung around every light post, and they zigzagged
overhead down the length of the entire street.
Daylight did not do them
justice. I’d been downtown last night having dinner with friends, and it had
been all lit up and looked like a winter wonderland. Cottonwood Cove was
not only my home, it was my happy place.
Lancaster Press had moved into the large three-story brick building not
far from my brother’s restaurant, Reynolds’, a few months ago. I was
interviewing for a personal assistant position for Maddox Lancaster, who was
the president of the company.
I’d heard that he was an intimidating rich guy, a bit of a playboy, and a
recent resident of my hometown. Apparently, they’d moved the business out
of the city, and he’d bought one of the large spec homes in town. Everyone
was talking about it. Small-town gossip and all that. Yeah, it was a real thing.
Personally, I didn’t know that this was the right career path for me, but I
needed a job, seeing as I was temporarily homeless and carless.
Yes, I had a flair for the dramatics.
