Where I Belong

About this book

Mia Corelli returns to Alabama for a summer of freedom, but her plans are derailed by the one person she vowed to avoid: Benjamin Kelly. Known as the town’s resident jerk, Ben was the source of Mia's misery throughout their youth. In a reckless attempt to leave her past behind, Mia decides to lose her virginity to a stranger, only to discover the next morning that the man in her bed is none other than her childhood nemesis. What begins as a mortifying mistake quickly spirals into a complicated game of cat and mouse. When Mia finds herself spending the summer with her best friend—who happens to be Ben’s sister—avoidance becomes impossible. Ben is haunted by their single night together and is determined to prove that he has evolved into a man worthy of a second look, while Mia struggles to reconcile her lingering hatred with an undeniable, growing attraction. Featuring the classic enemies-to-lovers trope, this steamy southern romance captures the friction between past perceptions and present desires. As the two navigate their history and undeniable chemistry, they must decide if their connection is a temporary summer fling or if they belong together for the long haul.
