Saylor Woodson is the one girl I can’t have, and the only girl I want.
She’s my best friend’s little sister, and completely off limits.
We have a history, a connection—one that no one else knows about.
One that I’ve tried hard to forget.
I’ve kept my distance for years, which was easy because she’d been away at school.
But now she’s home, and she’s everywhere I turn.
And the way that I want her is unexplainable.
She’s always on my mind.
She’s sunshine on a cloudy day.
So, I do everything in my power to keep my distance, because her brother is my best friend.
My family.
But the pull is too strong.
Overpowering in every way possible.
I want to claim her and keep her and make her mine.
So, we cross that line in the sand—slowly at first.
Until I’m drowning in this girl and can’t find my way up for air.
Betrayal runs deep, and guilt hangs over me like a dark cloud.
But I can’t seem to walk away, no matter how hard I try.
Because she makes me want things that I never thought possible.
And now that I’ve had a taste of forever, I’m willing to risk everything to keep it.
But can we weather the storm that’s coming for us?
Only time will tell.



Saylor and King have been friends since they were young with him being friends with her brother Hayes. Saylor is opening her own bookstore with the help of King and his construction company. Something comes up and she needs to stay with King. With them being force proximity it’s only a matter of time before they can’t hold onto there feelings needing to give in. Brothers’ friend or childhood friends are always going to be one of my favorite tropes because it gives and extra layer to the story because they have history with one another which this a fantastic read. I can’t wait to see who’s next.
