Dumping Dallas Winston
Summary
An outsider with an image to protect. Harper loves to cause trouble - especially since her dad is the Chief of Police. Which makes dating a leather-jacket-wearing, motorcycle-riding Dallas Winston wannabe so much fun! There's no harm in stirring up a little trouble, right? Wrong. After one little slip-up, Harper's dad assigns her community service with the preppy scum turned police intern - Landon Maxwell. Now, her bad-boy boyfriend has a wicked revenge plan that might actually get her dad's attention, but Landon won't let her out of his sight. Not when he suspects she's up to no good, and especially not when he realizes keeping Harper in line feels a lot like falling for her. Dumping Dallas Winston is the second book in a series of romantic comedies centering around everybody's favorite 80s movies. The Dear Molly series can be listened to in any order.
