Ziggy's Voice

Kennedy I've always been the relationship guy. I love big, hard and fast ... but unfortunately for me, that's the quickest way to make a new romance crash and burn. Moving to Wilde's End, our not-so-abandoned town, is exactly the fresh start I need. What's better than a town in the middle of nowhere and long days of hard work to swear off relationships? At least that's what I think, until I meet Ziggy. He's the town electrician who has a weird habit of making sparks fly whenever I'm around him. He's cute, snarky, and his piercings are hot as hell. Too bad I don't trust myself not to make the same mistakes I always do. Ziggy I've always been the weird loner. The strange kid who doesn't talk. So when Kennedy shows up in my life, with his big energy and sunny personality, I don't know how to take him. I'm used to being the invisible shadow that goes unnoticed in the Wilde. Kennedy makes me feel seen. He doesn't expect me to talk when the voices in my head get too loud, he doesn't expect me to be funny or witty or anything that I'm not. He's happy just to be around me, and that's not something I've experienced before. He's sworn off dating. And I've never so much as been kissed. But with the sunshine he brings to my life, it's impossible to feel like a shadow anymore. I'm determined to win him over, no matter what it takes.
