He was her fiancé's best friend. Now he's offering her everything-except his heart.
A year after losing Duncan, Twila is barely holding it together. Her dream of becoming a romance author? On life support. Her waitressing job? Soul-sucking. The house she shared with Duncan? Slipping through her fingers. She's broke, burned out, and heartbroken.
Enter Luke-Duncan's best friend. The rich, reclusive one who vanished after the funeral. Now he's back, guilt-ridden, and offering her a lifeline:
Move into his beachfront mansion. Let him take care of her. Write the book. Start over.
The catch? She's not just sleeping under his roof.
She might be falling for him, too.
It's messy. It's forbidden. And it might be the only thing that can save them both.
If you love grief-soaked longing, sizzling tension, and slow-burn heat with high stakes, this standalone small-town romance will keep you up way past your bedtime.
