Chasing Mindy

Book excerpt: Mindy and Javier are not friends, okay. Despite their mothers’ matchmaking, they’ve managed to stay out of each other’s way. Until Mindy goes to Paris for a week, and her mother insists she meet up with Javier. He’s in Paris to study, really looking forward to see you, she says. Watch over each other. No thanks. Javier is taciturn and boring, Mindy is dramatic and has a tendency to yell at things when her eight siblings are brought up. It’s not a great combination. But things start to look a little different under the Paris lights, and what felt like hate feels a lot closer to love.
