Falling in love with someone she'd never laid eyes on wasn't part of the plan.


Anika made herself a promise she wouldn't date until college-the pickings are slim in a small town high school, and the only guy she likes is so far off-limits he might as well live on the moon. But an English assignment threatens to change all that.
All she has as a wallet-sized photo and scribbled letters, but she's falling for her military pen pal. His honest words and quiet confidence have her imagining happily ever after until the boy next door she's always crushed on becomes available.


Now, Anika has to make a decision. Stick to her plan or follow her heart.
Always Anika will have you laughing, crying, and adventuring through the rough waters of first loves and second chances. Dive into the story today and get swept away in your own sweet romance.
