<p><span style="background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 1)">I met Alessandra at a party. Tried to impress her. Was almost positive I was going to fail. I think I said something along the lines of, "I'm a Goat called Fish who's hung like a bull-but not really. I'm actually pretty average." Smooth. I know. Try not to be jealous.</span></p><p></p><p><span style="background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 1)">When she laughed-and I mean, really laughed-I knew she wasn't like the clout chasers I'd been meeting on tour. Hell, she wasn't even in the same stratosphere. At one point during the party, Alessandra said, "There's nothing like a girl's first love." I knew she was talking about the first smash hit by my band, 22 Goats. Alessandra said it was the first song she'd heard by us and it "hit her like a ton of bricks." Ironic, seeing as how I was having the same reaction from being in her presence.</span></p><p></p><p><span style="background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 1)">I made it my mission to impress her. Give her the kiss of a lifetime that night. But since I've always been the dude with zero game, nothing went according to plan. I'm not giving up, though. I'm going to win this girl over. I'm done sitting on the sidelines, watching the bad boy getting the girl. This time, the nice guy will finish first. Even if it's the last thing he'll do.</span></p><p></p><p><span style="background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 1)">Smitten is a bestselling standalone romance with no prior reading required that's interconnected with the world of River Records and the Morgan brothers.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 1)">&nbsp;</span></p>
