ⓘ About Jess Mastorakos
She loves planning with an erasable pen and her coffee in a glitter tumbler. “Back to You” is the first novel in the “San Diego Marines” series and was released in 2019. Spencer’s biggest mistake? Kissing his best friend. He has never been a relationship sort of guy. Sure, he’s got Ellie, his best friend dating back to middle school who has been by his side through good and the very bad, but with girls that aren’t Ellie? One date is plenty. Then when he returns from boot camp, a single kiss changes it all. However nothing has changed, too. Ellie is still looking to settle down with kids and a picket fence, and she knows that Spencer does not. Now there is heat when she looks at him in his new uniform.
