Falling for her ex’s best friend? That was new and unexpected.
She hadn’t planned on this happening. She tried ignoring her thoughts and growing feelings, but Heston wasn’t someone easy to ignore. He was attractive in that rugged and protective way, and he was solid—in more ways than one.
She could count on him.
When Heston showed up in the small town of Millbrook, he wasn’t prepared for what he’d be confronted with. The sense of belonging and having roots. The friendships that easily felt like family. And Brooke. He was not expecting to meet someone as fun, kind-hearted, and beautiful as the coffee shop owner.
There was only one problem.
She was off limits.
How did his buddy ever let her go? He had no clue. She was motivated, hard working, and the woman drew his attention without ever trying. He tried keeping his distance, but it was impossible when they kept getting shoved together.
At a certain point, a man can’t ignore what’s right in front of him, especially when it’s someone as special and once in a lifetime as Brooke. Besides, he didn’t want to ignore her or what he could feel simmering between them any longer.
He wouldn’t sit by while she was taken for granted. Not when he knew he’d give her the world.
