Faking It with my Brother's Best Friend
There's one rule about your brother's best friend: you don't fall for him. Especially when he already broke your heart once. Now I'm stuck with him all weekend — nowhere to hide from the man I've spent twelve years trying to forget. Then my stalker ex shows up, and Rhett decides he's my protector. As if I asked. He claims I'm his wedding date. Just to keep my ex off my back. But it's hard to remember why I hate him when I'm pressed against him on the dance floor. His scarred body inches from mine. One stolen night under the willow tree, and I realize I'm not the only one falling. When he tells me the real reason he left at eighteen — that he was terrified of what he felt for me — I stop fighting it. Then Marcus burns it all down. He tells my brother everything. The fact that he saw Rhett slipping out of my cottage at dawn. Now Rhett has to choose: the girl he walked away from once… …or the best friend he'll lose the second he chooses me.
