Farrah Miller and Cody "Casper" Butler have a longstanding relationship that both refuse to discuss.
It isn't romantic.
It may not even be classified as a friendship.
Casper's been saving Farrah from herself for longer than he'd care to admit, watching silently as she drowned herself in alcohol. Then, when she finally got her act together, he left. He told himself he was giving her time to sort herself out. He tried to give her space.
But getting shot in the chest can change a man's perspective, and Casper's done waiting.
When he shows up on her doorstep one night, everything changes.
He's the man who's seen her at her very worst.
She's his weakness.
He runs when things get hard.
She never lets anyone see below the surface and is terrified of being abandoned.
He knows it's a long shot, that there's a good chance she'll never drop her guard for him-but he has to try. Because a life with Farrah is exactly what he wants-even if he has to fight her for it.

Free in KU.* The Granger and Drake families have been through everything together; the suicide of the eldest Granger son, the Drake patriarch's cancer diagnosis, family holidays with only slight maiming, and more dance recitals than anyone would care to remember. Leilani Granger can't stand the person Casper Drake has become, and Casper doesn't even recognise his best mate's little sister anymore. Loving each other is second-nature, but they don't know how not to hate each other either. As they face losing Leilani's only remaining brother and Casper's best mate to his inner demons, old habits lead them back to each other for comfort. But, after one night of a deeper connection than either of them were ready for, the lines between the emotional and the physical start to blur. Leilani wasn't the kind to lose herself in meaningless sex. Casper's been doing it for years. It's the only time they can forget the storm clouds in their lives. It's the only time they can remember the sunshine. It's the only time hate doesn't get in the way. But, the trouble with hate is...it's often not hate at all. NB: Contains mature content.
