I’ve loved Barrett Voss since I was fifteen. He’s never once looked at me that way.
Best friends since kindergarten. Family through every funeral, every fight, every 2 a.m. phone call. I made peace with loving him quietly a long time ago.
Then a threat lands on both our doorsteps — his family’s marina, my clinic, everything this town has built — and suddenly we’re fighting side by side instead of loving each other from a careful distance.
He’s starting to look at me differently. I’m terrified to hope it means what I think it means.
Because if I’m wrong, I don’t just lose the man I love.
I lose my best friend.
Twenty-five years of friendship is either about to become the greatest love story Anchor Bay has ever seen — or the biggest mistake either of us has ever made.
He’s finally stopped pretending. Have I waited too long to believe him?
