Only One

I wasn’t supposed to fall for my best friend’s older brother. But somewhere between secret letters and confessing our feelings, Tyler became my first love—and the first boy to shatter my heart when he left our Southern hometown twelve years ago. Now he’s back, working for my father and looking at me like he still wants me…except now I’m engaged to another man.

I’ve been obsessed with my sister’s best friend for as long as I can remember. She knows all my secrets—except that I’m madly in love with her. Instead of telling her how I feel, I watch my cousin sweep her off her feet, marry her, and build the life I was too afraid to fight for. Then one night changes everything. When I catch him cheating on his pregnant wife, a fight breaks out that leaves him dead. And me behind bars. I can’t face her after what happened, so I deny her visits and ignore her letters. For ten long years.

I shouldn’t want my new roommate. Especially when she’s my best friend’s little sister. When I moved across the country, I was looking for a fresh start after serving time in prison, not complications. Living with Everleigh is torture in the best way. She’s beautiful, stubborn, impossible to ignore, and completely off-limits. And the worst part is how easily she makes me forget the kind of man I used to be.
