Becoming Bella

As long as she can remember, Bella Erikson's been the unofficial sweetheart of Ghost Falls, Utah. And ever since Nate Evans dipped her braids in purple paint in the first grade, he's been her dream guy. Not that she minds the attention, but sometimes she wishes people saw more in her than just the girl who still has a crush on Sheriff Evans. Nate knows he's not good enough for sweet Bella. But he's pretty sure the new guy sending her heart emojis and giant bouquets isn't either. And when Bella's suitor turns stalker, protecting Bella isn't just Nate's instinct----t's his duty. Crammed together for safety and really talking for the first time in years, Bella and Nate can't fight the moment their chemistry turns into pyrotechnics.
