Friends Don't

When Ryan Mercer returns to Wyckoff, the Langford family receives him as though he never left. The house, the rituals, the familiarity. With Nicholas, the ease is immediate, their closeness settling back into place with quiet certainty. With Joseph, the pull is different. Less steady, more consuming, impossible to ignore.

As professional ties draw the families together and private gatherings blur old boundaries, Ryan finds himself caught between two brothers, each offering a different way of being wanted. What once passed as friendship begins to ask for more.

Friends Don't is an intimate novel about desire, loyalty, and the moment when closeness becomes something that can no longer remain unnamed.
