I'm falling for the one person I shouldn't... and it's a problem. --- Dylan James and I have been best friends since dinosaurs roamed Earth. We've done everything together, from kissing on the playground to accidentally becoming each other's firsts... and collecting a very long list of "wow, we're idiots" moments along the way. How has our friendship worked this well, for this long? Years ago, we made a pact: no dating, no feelings, no ruining what we have. And that was fine. Easy, even. Until now. The only problem? I'm starting law school at Henley U. Which means, for the first time in a few years, I'm living less than ten minutes away from my best friend again. And he's... definitely not the same boy I left behind. He's bigger. Stronger. Carries himself with a confidence that makes my stomach flip. And every time he looks at me, I swear I feel it in places I shouldn't. We're in the same college, the same friend group, and sleeping in the same bed almost every night... and honestly, it's getting impossible to pretend he's just my friend. Especially when his arms are constantly wrapped around me like I belong there. This is either going to be the greatest love story of all time... or the biggest disaster of my life. Guess we'll just have to wait and see. And waiting? yeah... not my strong suit. *****The Henley Boys is a set of standalone novels. We'll Always Play Forever is a novella set between books one and two in the series, but you can choose to read in any order!*****
