Making New Friends: A New Beginning: A New Beginning by Liz Hamilton: A New Beginning

Self-esteem when first on your own is often a roadblock to finding true love.

Hannah wants to learn how to stand on her own two feet, but independence means that she needs to trust her own judgment and not doubt herself. When Hannah meets Michael, their initial physical attraction leads to a deeper connection, but her roommate, Rhonda, along with her jealousy and anger soon become an obstacle.

Michael wants to focus on getting his college degree and becoming a success. When Michael meets Hannah, his feelings for her are strong and he is afraid of the distraction she will become.

Soon their relationship is tested when Rhonda's anger becomes more sinister. Can Hannah and Michael overcome the threat from Rhonda and their own inner fears to find happiness?

This small town, college, romantic suspense is the first in the ETC Mystery series and it can be read as a stand alone. It features a roommate with anger and mental issues along with a kidnapping, a lovely young lady and a handsome perfectionist. This book ends with an HEA and the new couple will reappear in book two of the series.
