Emelyn Heartland has loved Dean Di Laurentis for as long as she can remember.
Which is unfortunate considering Dean has only ever seen her as one thing:
his best friend.
Growing up as next-door neighbors in Greenwich, Connecticut, their lives have always been tangled together-family vacations, late-night sleepovers, summers in Charleston, and a friendship that survived everything.
Until one drunken night during freshman orientation at Briar University changes everything.
One mistake becomes another.
Then another.
Suddenly, "best friends" turns into late nights, tangled sheets, and blurred boundaries neither of them are willing to define.
Emelyn knows better than to hope for more-especially when Dean continues acting like nothing has changed.
But when Dominic Ashford, Briar's biggest hockey rival, starts paying attention to the girl Dean swears is just his best friend, lines begin to blur in ways Dean can't ignore.
Because protecting Emelyn has always come naturally.
Losing her?
That was never part of the plan.
