A Sexy, Friends to Lovers, Secret Relationship, Small-Town Romance by bestselling author Chelle Sloan.

I can’t remember a time when I haven’t loved my childhood best friend, Amelia.

Her big brown eyes and beautiful smile have had a hold on me since we were teenagers.

Hell, I even love her kids as if they were my own.

Now, she’s divorced, and after twenty years, it’s time to make my move.

The tension between us finally erupts and I kiss her.

Imagine my surprise when she doesn’t push me away but says she wants to give us a try.

Except she has one condition: We keep it a secret.

I’ll do anything for her, even this.

But I can’t help but want to shout to the world that the woman of my dreams is finally mine.

I inadvertently do it when her ex-husband rolls back into town.

A man I’ve hated since high school.

He riles me up and I blurt out Amelia and I are engaged.

We’re not.

Now, we have to pretend to plan a wedding while our meddling town watches.

I’ve waited over twenty years for my chance.

Will this cost me the one I love?
