Ren Browne The Crush

Set in a small town in Texas, The Crush is a star-crossed lovers romance, laced with steamy spice and 90's nostalgia. It follows Isabel who returns from college to her conservative family to find that Daniel, the much older son of her parents' best friends and the subject of her lifelong crush, has also returned from eight years spent with the DEA. "Off-limits" doesn't come close to cutting it... and yet the two of them can't seem to stay apart. What if he's always it for me, and I'm never it for him? For as long as I can remember, I have been completely infatuated with Daniel R?os. A shame, because not only is he twelve years older and painfully indifferent to my existence, but Daniel also left eight years ago, signing up to join the DEA while I was still signing out of homeroom. Now, I'm just back from college, right back under my family's supervision, and more than a little surprised to find I'm not the only one back home. This time, is it too much to hope that he might see me, too? Just another reason to stay away. Trying to move on from my past while simultaneously trying to fit back into the life I left behind, the one thing I could really use is a distraction. Unless that distraction's name is Isabel Rivera. The youngest daughter of my parents' best friends, off limits doesn't even begin to describe what Isabel should be for me. However, the closer I get to her, the harder I find it to let her walk away. No matter how much I know I should.
