Against a Wall

This is what a redemption era looks like.
This doofus of a man, teases/bullied a girl because he wanted her attention in school.

Years later they fake date to save her reputation in town.

He's pined for her, so this is perfect he can get close.

Glenna was grouchy, introverted and kept to herself. Cash is the town prince. Always smiling and everyone loves him. Complete opposites.

It was angsty, it was funny. I mean he got her shot (flesh wound during hunting accident but still) and she forgave him. Excellent grovelling.

There isn't anything terribly exciting but this author just pulls you into the universe and there's no stopping.

Also there was pussy slapping so that was hot af
