    About this ebook

    3,900 words of quick, steamy romance. Female point of view. No cliffhanger. First book of the Mind Games Series with a happy ending.

    Julia is a college student who thinks she can just be "friends" with David. Why ruin a perfectly good relationship? But she knows deep down inside that it will never be enough. Will she settle for friendship or will she risk losing her best friend in hopes that she will get everything she's ever wanted?

    As it turns out, it's not all about her.

    "I know why you're hiding from me."

    When she gets stuck with David as her partner for a design project, she's forced to choose. Does she spill her secret or does she play it safe and bear the inner struggle of wanting someone she can't have?

    "Look, Julia, you're a terrible liar."

      If I Can't Have You - Wendy West

      Chapter 1

      My name is Julia Crossings. I was 22 and in the graphic designer program at North Bridge College. Life was pretty good. I was getting good grades. I guess I was OK looking.
