A slow burn, friends to lovers, military romance from USA Today bestselling author Prescott Lane

All the best love stories are tragic. Ours is no different.

Lennon is the woman who should have always been mine. The one that I let slip through my fingers time and time again. I was young, stupid, and arrogant enough to think love would wait.

Being in the Marines has taught me patience. The enemy never strikes when you expect it. Love is the same way.

And falling in love with your best friend requires a special type of patience.

So when tragedy strikes, the only thing I can do is be what I’ve always been to her — her best friend.

I’ve learned everything has a cost — even love. Lennon has paid dearly.

But I’m not about to let tragedy steal our happily ever after.

Within the first couple of chapters, I knew that I was going to be rung out through the emotional wringer and I was. Adding friends to lovers plus being a military slow burn read, give me all the books. I love these tropes. I knew that I was going to love it and be a sobbing mess read but HOLY was this on a different level. I loved every minute of this read. Lennon and Duke are the best of friends and have been through so much together and when they give in to their feelings you can feel the love for one of them just gets stronger and so much more.
