The Twenty-One

I look both ways before I cross the road. I knot my laces twice. Boring? Sure. But it’s also settled. Stable. Safe. And I like safe. Because broken bones may be hard to heal, but broken hearts are even harder. And when the man I loved and lost comes charging back into my life, I won’t fall for his charms again … will I? Joel Henley just might be my biggest risk yet. My name is Ellie Mayfield. And this is my undoing.
