Part of The Driven World from New York Times bestselling author K. Bromberg.

My plan was simple. Flawless.

Pack light, drive cross-country to California, and settle into my brand new job.

No distractions, no detours. No problems.

But then she waltzed into my life with her jingling bracelets and wild clover perfume turning my simple into complicated in the blink of an eye.

She was unpredictable. A distraction.

She was the detour I had no time to take.

The problem I had no business solving.

Despite all my efforts, she managed to get under my skin, and into my heart.

All it took was one flash of her sunshine smile for me to know that I was completely and utterly screwed.
