Stand By Me (The Larsen Family Series Book 1)

When lonely, 10-year-old Cory convinced his pregnant mother to play with him on the lawn, he was delighted until she collapsed dead at his feet. Devastated, he knew no one could ever love him after his role in her death. Father sent him to a private school in London, where he grew hard and bitter.

When Cory's father married Leah's mother, Leah was a chunky 14-year-old tomboy from Colorado. Cory hated her on sight. Leah was a tough girl, but he managed to make her cry. He knew he was the worst.

Cory and Leah meet again when he is a sour 30-year-old elite, and Leah is a vivacious 27-year-old ski champion. The ugly duckling blossomed into a tall, voluptuous woman who looked at him like she would love to kick his ass.
