Broken Engagement, Berlin Escape

From the back cover

I flew to London with a custom engagement ring, ready to surprise my boyfriend for our anniversary.

Instead, I found him wearing a matching "couple's bracelet" with his "anxious" female best friend, Britney.

He even ditched our anniversary dinner because she had a "panic attack" over a chipped nail.

Realizing I was the third wheel in my own relationship, I quietly transferred to a university in Berlin to escape.

But Graham wouldn't let go.

He followed me across the continent, dragging my mother along to guilt-trip me into coming back.

When that didn't work, he handed me a "farewell gift."

As I opened the box, a sickly sweet smell hit me-he was trying to drug me to kidnap me back to New York.

My legs gave out, but I didn't hit the floor.

I fell into the arms of Harrison McKee-Britney's terrifyingly powerful uncle and my new professor.

"Find another side chick, Graham," Harrison growled, pulling me close.

"This one is taken."
