No Place Like Home

Rowan McKendry is looking at me like I'm the one woman he's always wanted. But he's my best friend-and best friends shouldn't fall in love.

Summer

Rowan's home for his cousin's wedding. Unfortunately, there's been a miscommunication and he and I are forced to share a one-bedroom house. It shouldn't be that bad. Rowan's my best friend. The one I could always count on.

But suddenly the line between friendship and something more is blurring, and I'm scared of where it might lead.

I try hard to fight these feelings, but when he looks at me with his large chocolate brown eyes, the tension crackles between us and I'm pulled toward him in a way I've never been before, until keeping my heart locked away becomes harder than ever, and I start to wonder if maybe I've been running from the wrong thing all along.

But I know better than to believe in forever. Love is messy, and someone always gets hurt. And anyway, there's a part of my past I've never shared with anyone-not even Rowan. I need to keep my distance. It's the right thing to do.

But how can I stay away when everything between us feels so right?
