The Front Runner by Elsie Silver

The Front Runner

BY ELSIE SILVER

Stefan Dalca is infuriatingly handsome and annoyingly persistent. We’re supposed to hate each other, but apparently he didn’t get the memo, because he’s been asking me out for years. And I always say no. Until today. Today he has something that I desperately need—today, he’s my saviour. Our time together starts out as a simple transaction: three dates, no touching, no telling anyone - and definitely no falling in love. But with every intimate conversation, and each stolen glance, the tension between us builds. Giving in to Stefan Dalca is playing with fire. But with him I don’t even mind the heat.
