Twenty-four-year-old Kylie Reed has always been a rule follower. Organized and cautious to a fault, her dreams for life are often filed away for future useâwhen she has a house, when she meets her future husband, when she has been at her visual display job at a chic Dallas boutique longer...Kylie always has a reason for living her life in the future, not in the present, and not living her life to the fullest and reaching her dream of becoming a fashion designer.The only exception to rules, of course, would be running away with Prince HarryâKylieâs ideal man. A hot, fun ginger boy would be worth breaking all the rules for, of course. And Kylie is sure Harry just needs the right, centering woman to settle him down. But living in Dallas and not knowing Prince Harry make this a non-option.
Or does it?
Because when Kylie accidentally falls into the lap of a gorgeous ginger boyâyes, even more gorgeous than the real Prince Harryâall bets are off. Could this stranger be the one to show Kylie how to take a chance, to face her fears, and live in the present? And could this stranger be the Prince Harry she has been waiting for? Kylieâs life takes some unexpected twists and turns thanks to this chance encounter, and she knows her life will never be the same because of it...

After we finish dessert, Harrison extends his hand to me. A million butterflies take off in my stomach as I know weâre approaching a different point in the evening now. I give him my hand and he wraps his large hand around mine, squeezing it tightly in his.
I donât even trust myself to remember to breathe the second he touches me. He leads me to the living room. Harrison sits down on the couch and pulls me down into his lap.
âThis,â Harrison says quietly, âis what Iâve wanted to do all night.â
Now his fingertips are trailing up and down my arm, just barely touching it, in a feather-like graze.
âIs that so?â I whisper back, barely functioning now that I feel his skin against mine.
âKylie, do you remember how I said I didnât want our first kiss to be what it was?â Harrison whispers.
âI do, but I didnât mind that.â
Harrison laughs softly. âI know you didnât. But itâs not how I wanted that moment to be.â
I swallow hard. âHow did you want the moment to be?â
Harrison stares at me. He lightly runs his fingers up my arm, across my shoulder, and gliding them up my neck to my cheek, stroking my face again and making every nerve I have jump with desire.
âGentle,â he whispers. âLike you.â
Harrison slides his hand to the back of my head, cradling it as he moves my face closer to his.
âYou have the most beautiful eyes,â Harrison whispers, staring deeply at me. âI see everything I want to see when I look into them.â
Iâm melting from the way heâs looking at me, the way heâs talking to me, the way heâs touching me. Harrisonâs caressing the nape of my neck now. I lift my hands and wind them around the back of his neck, and I finally touch his ginger curls. They feel like silk against my fingertips, and my nerves jump again in response.
âWhat do you see right now?â I whisper to him.
âI see,â Harrison whispers back, his fingertips dancing up and down the nape of my neck, âa gorgeous woman who wishes I would kiss her.â
~ ABOUT THE AUTHOR ~
But writing about city council meetings and restaurant franchises was not as much fun as writing for young women trying to figure out their careers and potential boyfriends. So Aven got herself a job in television that allowed her to write at night. Connectivity is Avenâs debut novel; Waiting For Prince Harry and Chronicles of a Lincoln Park Fashionista (New Adult romantic comedy) will be published next year.
Aven lives in Dallas with her family. When she is not writing, Aven enjoys shopping, cooking, connecting with friends on social media, and watching any show that features Gordon Ramsay.
