Victoria (Tori) is the owner of a small bookstore in Rhode Island, and she's prided herself on being an independent woman. Max, with a few tricks up his sleeve, has had a major crush on Tori since high school. One day, after a year of pleading, Max comes to work at her bookstore, and well, nature takes its course. Tori and Max are thrown into being adoptive parents, and the heroes of a teenage boy. What a life! Basically one of those good, old fashioned love stories- with some twists and turns along the way :) (Mentions "rape/assualt" at the end of chapter 13. Reader beware)
