Rescued

A curvy girl insta-love romance novella with ALL the feels. Trigger Warning: This novella contains some coarse language and flashbacks to an assault. 

Laura: Spending the summer in my parents' beach house figuring out what I want to do after graduation might have made me the envy of my friends, but the affluent Florida resort was no longer the paradise I'd known. I'd had a crush on the boy next door last summer, and it had ended badly. Apparently, I still hadn't quite woken up from that nightmare! 
I could never have imagined that Mr. Lindstrom would be the one who came to my rescue, but I'm so happy that he did. Ironic that I would need to be saved from a lifeguard! 

Pelle: I had been resolved to talk to the girl, get to know her. Figure out what had made her so sad, and if there was anything I could do to make it better. But when she suddenly started crying, I had to comfort her. Just a hug. That was all. I never intended it to lead to anything more than that. 
Stupid of me, I know. Because as soon as I had her in my arms, I knew that I never wanted to let her go.
