Ugly Ducklings Finish First

Ugly Ducklings Finish First by Stacy Gail

 

Nerdy girl tutors hot jock in high school.  Nerdy girl likes hot guy.  Ten years later, hot guy falls for not so nerdy girl.  This is a classic story of high school kids that crush on each other not knowing they are feeling the same way who reunite years later.

Wiley really wants to pursue a relationship with geeky Peyton who tutored him in high school.  Peyton is now a hot doctor who is independent.  Can this couple get over the past to find each other in the future?

I liked this story.  It was a quick, easy, refreshing read. 

Synopsis:

Metal Mouth. Queen Geek. Dr. Payton Pruitt heard it all growing up. But she's over it, and attending her ten-year high school reunion is the perfect way to prove it to herself. Even if there's only one person she's interested in seeing in Bitterthorn, Texas: Wiley Sharpe.

Now a respected lawyer, Wiley didn't live down to the label Most Likely to Be Slapped with a Paternity Suit. But recent acts of vandalism suggest someone still sees him as a heartbreaker, and the reunion seems a likely place to find the culprit. Instead, Wiley comes face-to-face with his old pal Payton—and is wowed not only by her transformation into a ravishing swan, but by the connection they still share.

Payton is pleased the playboy she used to tutor has grown into an honorable man, but she's too smart to fall for a guy with roots in a place she couldn't wait to leave. But while Payton is an academic genius, Wiley is the one with the PhD in pleasure, and he intends to use it to convince her to stay…
