Libby Garrett is addicted to Owen Jackson's hot lovin'. But the sexy, popular college basketball player doesn't appreciate all of Libby's awesomeness. He refuses to be exclusive or even admit to people that they're dating. The relationship is ruining Libby and she's the only one who can't see it.
When Libby's behavior spirals completely out of control, her best friend Avery Shaw and the rest of the Science Squad stage an intervention hoping to cure Libby of her harmful Owen addiction. They put her through her very own Twelve Step program—Owen's Anonymous—and recruit the help of a sexy, broody, hard as nails coffee man to be her official sponsor...
Adam Koepp has watched Libby Garrett for years. How could he not notice the sassy girl with the purple skateboard and helmet plastered with cat stickers? But in all the years he's crushed on her, Libby has failed to take notice of him. Why would she when he was just a nobody high school drop out who served her apple cider several times a week? Especially when she was hooking up with a guy like Owen Jackson—a guy with a college scholarship and more abs than Kyle Hamilton.
Adam finally gets the chance to meet Libby when his co-worker Avery Shaw recruits him to take Libby on the journey of a lifetime. With his ability to play Bad Cop and his experience with the Twelve Step program he's the perfect candidate to be Libby's sponsor. But will he be able to keep his personal feelings out of the matter and really help her the way she needs? And will Libby hate him when he forces her to take an honest look at herself?
This follow-up companion novel to The Avery Shaw Experiment can be read as a stand alone. (But where's the fun in that?) ;)
When I looked at Libby, she shrugged as though she was as helpless
in this situation as I was. “Help me, Coffee-Wan Kenobi. You’re my only hope.”
It was so Libby.
“Okay. I’ll be her sponsor.” I prayed I wasn’t making a huge
mistake.
Kate and Avery both squealed and pounced on me, giving me hugs. I
was still wary, but their energy was contagious and I cracked a smile.
“Thank you, Adam,” Avery said. “You really, really are the best. Is there any chance you
could get started tomorrow? Libby managed to say no to Owen tonight, but if we
don’t help keep her distracted tomorrow, she’s going to end up in his very
expensive hotel suite tomorrow night.”
And just like that, all my reservations about this disappeared. I
was all in, and failure was not an option. Libby was never going to end up in
that jerk’s bed ever again if I could help it. “Tomorrow’s as good a day as
any. I’m off work at two.”
Libby was already at the door trying to escape, but she stopped
before turning the knob. “Actually, I need you ready to go at seven thirty in
the morning. Avery already cleared it with your boss. He was more than happy to
take your shift. He said he’s been trying to get you to take a vacation day for
months.”
My head reared back. “You cleared my schedule tomorrow?”
Libby looked me right in the eyes and grinned wickedly. The smile
did something to my insides. “You’re mine
tomorrow, Coffee Man,” she purred jokingly.
I stopped breathing. Hers.
Yes. Yes I was. Heaven help me, but I was hers. This was so bad. If I wasn’t
careful Libby Garrett was going to break me. I had to take control of this
situation fast. I don’t know what kind of look I had on my face when I stalked
across the room toward her, but her eyes widened and she backed up until she
bumped into the door. “You’ve got that all wrong,” I said, placing my hand on
the door beside her head, trapping her in front of me.
I’d meant to intimidate her a little, but when she sucked in a
breath and shivered, I lost control again. I leaned in a little too close and
my next words accidentally came out in a possessive growl. “Starting tomorrow,
Cider Chick, you are mine.”
