The Reluctant Bachelorette by Rachael Anderson

 
 
Unknowingly cast as the bachelorette for her town’s charity event, Taycee Emerson wants out. Especially when she discovers her old teenage crush, Luke Carney, is one of the bachelors and it's up to the viewers--not her--to decide which bachelors stay or go.

Coerced into participating, Taycee does what any self-preserving girl would do. She launches a subtle attack on Luke’s good name with the hope of getting him voted off the show. Unfortunately, Luke's an eye-for-an-eye kind of guy, and when he discovers what she's up to, it means revenge.

But when their pranks go south, will they screw up any chance they have at a future together, or will they be able to forgive and forget and prove that love really does conquer all?



Excerpt:

Turned out Jessa was right after all. Taycee was a shaken can of soda, and Luke had just opened her up.
     It had been a problem she’d been plagued with her entire life. Let things build inside until one day the pressure became too much and everything spurted out. Her mother had always warned her not to let things fester, to say
what needed to be said before it reached this point. But Taycee had never quite learned how to do that. Anger had always given her words the wings they needed to fly right out of her mouth.
     The problem was that when it reached this point, the words usually came out tainted with a nastiness she didn’t really mean. A nastiness that Luke may never forget.
     Or worse—forgive.
