He thought she chose someone else. She thought he never wanted her.
A small-town, enemies-to-lovers, brothers’ best friend, who hurt you, contemporary romance with all the feels.
Emily Jake Thompson was my first heartbreak. Four years ago, I overheard exactly what he thought of me. Na?ve. Embarrassing. Not worth his time. So I stopped caring what he thought. Or at least….
that’s what I told myself. He left Brookhaven. I stayed. And now he’s back. Showing up on my calls like nothing ever happened. He thinks I chose someone else.
I think he made his feelings perfectly clear. And somehow, we’re stuck working side by side…. With everything we never said still between us.
Jake Emily Grey was always off-limits. Too young. Too good. My best friend’s sister. So I did what I had to do…. I pushed her away. And watched her walk straight into someone else’s arms.
I thought that was the end of it. It wasn’t. Because now I’m back. And no matter how much I try to fight it…. I still want her. I’m not the guy she deserves. I shouldn’t touch her. But this time?
Walking away might not be an option.
