Elias has always been known as the best man in town-brilliant, respected, and selfless to a fault. As the campus president, he has everything... except the courage to claim his own heart. By night, he dreams of stories he has yet to write, pouring his hidden truths onto paper.
When Belle transfers to their university, Elias falls quietly but fiercely in love. Just before he can confess, she grows close to his friend Leo. Bound by loyalty and the unspoken rules of brotherhood, Elias steps back-sacrificing his feelings, even when every part of him aches.
In college, the world brings them together again. Time has changed them, but some feelings refuse to fade. Elias and Belle must make choices heavier than silence, and confront a love that has always been quietly waiting-one that may demand more than the heart can bear.
Best Man is a slow-burn romance about restraint, loyalty, and the stories we write when reality asks us to let go.
