Matchmaking the New Girl (Cardinal Ridge Sweet YA Romance)

But when Jake Valencia, the boys’ soccer team’s cute goalie, meets my eyes during the trip to the amusement park, I start to wonder if my friends are right and it would be okay to let down my guard a little. He’s funny, charming, and puts me at ease with just a smile. And he keeps showing up. In line for the deathtrap coaster where I’m trying not to freak out. Making a bet with me on the mini golf course that somehow ends with me giving him my phone number. Handing me my favorite snack right before the fireworks. I know how this goes. People leave when you let them in. That’s why I’ve always been okay being the one to move away. This time, though, I don’t have an escape route. Can I risk letting Jake into my heart knowing he’ll have the power to break it?
