Ferro","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt ten, I was the unwanted tagalong on London Hale's fishing trip—the fatherless girl next door he resented having to include. But all it took was one hot Texas summer afternoon of fishing to change everything.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt sixteen, he saved my life, and then he kissed me. The star quarterback and the quiet outsider, we defied every small-town stereotype as we fell hopelessly in love. By eighteen, we had our futures mapped out together until four desperate words shattered everything.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003e\"Don't take the girl.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith those words, my world collapsed, and London disappeared from my life.\u003cbr\u003eSix years later, I'm starting fresh at my best friend's ranch, healing among horses instead of people, until I discover that the rival rancher next door is none other than London Hale. The boy I loved. The man who should be in prison.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe wants me gone, and I understand why. His sacrifice cost him everything. But I never asked him to save me, not the first time or the second.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSharing another small town with him isn't going to be easy, but I'm not going anywhere. I need this job, and besides—it's temporary. At the end of the summer, I'll have my certification, and I'll leave just as he asked me to.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut when I uncover the truth behind that fateful night and why London never went to jail, I realize our story wasn't finished at eighteen—it's been waiting here all along.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome chapters aren't meant to be closed. Sometimes, the most beautiful stories are the ones brave enough to try again.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ready To Ship","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45608943124651,"sku":null,"price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/0885\/4955\/files\/4_33e0cf24-4fcc-4502-9320-d833bb5a4a09.png?v=1757601673","url":"https:\/\/readrallystudio.com\/products\/dont-take-the-girl-by-l-a-ferro","provider":"Read and Rally Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
