A girl like her - talia hibbert

She s the town pariah.

He doesnt give a damn.

In Ruth Kabbahs world, comic books are king, silence is golden, and human contact is a pesky distraction.

She doesnt like people, which works out just fine, because the people in this small town dont like her.

The exception to that rule? Evan Miller, her way-too-charming next-door neighbour.

Ex-military man Evan is all tattooed muscle on the outside--and a big, cuddly teddy bear beneath.

Hes used to coaxing prickly people from their shells, but hes never met a woman quite like Ruth.

Blunt, sarcastic, and secretly sad, shes his exact opposite.

Shes also his deepest desire.

Soon, Evans steady patience and smouldering smiles are melting Ruths reserve.

But when small-town gossip from her past begins to poison her future, shes forced to make a choice.

Should she trust Evan completely? Or is her heart safest alone?.
