A surprise character spin-off from The Yellow Note that can also be read as a stand-alone (but it's more fun if you've read The Yellow Note.) A young adult/new adult sweet romance series. I was sixteen when I first met him. There were two types of kids in our school-those who had after school jobs, and those rich jerks who didn't. I was neither. Technically, I fell into the second category since my parents had money for days, but they made me work. It didn't matter to me, though. I liked working. I liked getting away from my parents for a while, so I worked part-time at a local grocery store that employed teenagers for cheap pay. It was hot, just a few days into the school year, and he was sitting in the freezer in the stockroom eating strawberry ice cream right out of the carton. I was seventeen when I first met her. My home life was miserable, so I enjoyed working after school at Wilkin's Market. I'd just finished unloading new stock when my life changed. I was eating ice cream when she passed the walk-in freezer headed toward the break room... and my heart exploded. Dana and Jordan. Jordan and Dana. Their names were synonymous with two other words--love and tragedy. Dana knew she would never love anyone the way she loved Jordan. Jordan knew he never wanted to be without Dana. But life had other plans. Alternating points-of-view, the love story of Dana and Jordan.
