Kiss Chase — Danica Avet

Falling for Hyde Parker was easy to do -- Ava Boudreaux managed that feat before the second grade -- but making him see her as more than a friend seems next to impossible. Desperate to start a new life somewhere Hyde-free, Ava is on the verge of accepting a job in a new city when the opportunity of a lifetime falls into her lap. It'll mean staying in Grand Terre and using every ounce of willpower she has to keep from making a fool of herself over Hyde. Hard enough to do when they live in the same town, how's she going to manage when they work together?

Chasing and kissing Ava was a lot easier when they were in grade school. Back then all he had to do was run and tackle. Now that's considered stalking and assault, leaving Hyde needing more subtle means of showing her how much he loves her. Being her protector, watching from afar and hoping that one day their relationship statuses would match up hasn't worked well so far. Now Hyde knows it's time to step up his game before he loses Ava for good.

It'll take some maneuvering, a little manipulation and lots of scorching hot kisses to bring this extended game of Kiss Chase to an end.
