A Small-Town Forbidden Romance Twenty-two-year-old Sophia Reeves has been harboring the world's worst secret for six years: she's desperately in love with her best friend's older brother. Damien Cross is everything she shouldn't want-protective, possessive, and completely off-limits. He's also the one man who can make her forget every rule she's set for herself. When Sophia returns to Cedar Falls for the summer, the simmering tension between them finally explodes into something neither can ignore. But loving Damien means risking everything-her lifelong friendship with Aria, her place in the only family that's ever truly accepted her, and her heart. Damien has spent years fighting his inconvenient feelings for his little sister's best friend. As a successful engineer who's held his family together since their father abandoned them, he knows better than to want something that could destroy everything he's built. But when Sophia looks at him with those dark eyes full of longing, all his good intentions crumble. Their secret affair threatens to tear apart the tight-knit Cross family, especially when the truth comes out in the most explosive way possible. Now Sophia must choose between the safe life everyone expects her to live and the dangerous, passionate love that could cost her everything she holds dear. In a small town where everyone knows your business, some desires are too powerful to hide. Some love is worth any risk. And sometimes, the most dangerous territory of all is the space between friendship and forever. A steamy contemporary romance about forbidden love, family loyalty, and finding the courage to fight for what your heart demands.
