I slapped my tray down on table four with a little more force than I intended, biting back my tears. “Don’t act like you’re the only one in the trailer park who can carry a plate of food. I rolled my eyes and walked back out to the floor as he continued, getting louder as I walked away. I ignored him as he went on and on as I put the hot plates onto my tray, burning my fingers. “I hit the bell five minutes ago, Cass,” he scolded. I made a beeline to the back, my empty tray held tightly between my fingers as I talked myself out of hitting Larry upside his damn head. My blond hair and blue eyes were nothing but a curse sometimes.

Some guy pulls off the main highway and decides to try out a little local joint, maybe try his chances at getting lucky with a waitress. Cass Daniels was a lot of things, but not that. I tucked a strand of my dirty-blond hair (which some would call dark wheat) that had fallen loose from its ponytail behind my ear and gave a loud sigh. “I’m a waitress, not a whore,” I warned through gritted teeth. I slid the milk for his coffee across the table, making sure it tipped into his lap “accidentally.” I turned back to my heavyset, middle-aged customer with a quick smile as he continued to leer at my chest. He is almost always a mean and nasty old man. His hair is long and greasy, hanging in thick, gray clumps around his weathered face. He is the cook here at Aggie’s Diner, and he is also Aggie’s husband.

“I’ll be right there,” I snarled at Larry. That doesn’t mean I’m going to lie down like a doormat and let every cocky prick in the trailer park have his way with me. My knight in shining armor took the highway detour around this godforsaken shit hole. I know I don’t get the happily-ever-after. And he’s determined to find out what it is-if only he can get her to open up and let him in.

From the moment they meet, Tucker sees something in Cass he just can’t shake. Tall, tattooed, and bad-ass gorgeous, he’s the lead singer of the rock band Damaged. His name is Tucker White, and he’s different from any man Cass has ever known. Cass has learned to accept her lot in life. Maybe that’s why she puts up with Jackson-her poor excuse for a boyfriend, who treats her like dirt. Not if you live in a trailer with your mom, work at a greasy spoon diner, and get leered at by old men. She knows that girls like her don’t get a happily ever after. Ĭass Daniels isn’t waiting for her knight in shining armor.
