When I was younger, I had a secret crush on my brother's best friend...and now he's back!
My brother Dillon's best friend, Cole, is back in Pebble Bay-and he's still tall, dark, and stupidly charming. Now a swoon-worthy town veterinarian, he used to be my protector, math tutor, and ice cream run buddy. But he was always off-limits because Dillon would lose it. I buried my crush years ago... but one look at Cole's perfect smile, and those old feelings are roaring back.
When Katelyn, an old friend, gets me to spill that I had a crush on Cole as a kid, I figure it's harmless. Until everything changes.
Cole and I spend off hours for weeks helping Dillon recover from a car accident. Cole's quiet strength pulls me in, and when he holds my hand at the beach, I know I'm falling-hard.
But Dillon's starting to notice, and if he finds out, he'll never forgive us.
Now Cole's just asked out his beautiful college classmate, Mary Ann... and I'm left wondering if I've already lost the only guy I've ever really loved.
