Friction — Laura Heffernan

Britt has always loved first dates. But she has zero interest in second dates. Until she meets Colin. With six weeks of school to go before she gets her degree and moves to D.C. to start her dream job as a food scientist, Britt's focused on studying, partying, and spending as much time as possible with her family. She doesn't anticipate meeting a guy who makes her want to stay.  To her surprise, even after settling into her new life, Britt can't stop thinking about the one who got away. When she goes home to visit, their connection is stronger than ever. Sure, they live 450 miles apart, but it won't be long before he graduates. Britt finds herself increasingly tempted to go all-in, despite the fact that she and Colin come from different worlds. The fact that he's the first guy she's ever wanted a relationship with has to count for something. But is he the real thing, or is she chasing heartbreak?
