Kaylee has spent her whole life loving someone she was never supposed to have-her older brother Nathan's best friend, Hunter. With her fiery red hair, quiet personality, and small-but-feisty attitude, she grew up as the girl no one expected to cause trouble. Independent to her core, she learned early on not to rely on anyone... except maybe Hunter, even when she knew she shouldn't.
Hunter, on the other hand, is the definition of tall, dark, and handsome. He's always been the steady one-calm, loyal, and unshakably protective. And out of loyalty to Nathan, he's kept an invisible line between himself and Kaylee for years, even though the feelings he refuses to admit have been eating at him just as long.
Now that Nathan is away in the army, the distance between Kaylee and Hunter feels different. When Kaylee's toxic ex shows up one night and things go wrong fast, it's Hunter who steps in to protect her, take care of her, and stay by her side.
That night changes everything. Suddenly the tension they've both ignored becomes impossible to push away. As they question what they really mean to each other, they have to decide if crossing that line is worth risking the one relationship they've never dared to touch.
