I've loved my brother's best friend for as long as I can remember. Newsflash, he doesn't see me that way. But now that Luke Phillips is coming to town and needs a place to stay . . . could this be my big chance? It's not like I've sat around for the last twenty-eight years waiting for Luke. Not really. But ever since I moved back to Elk Lake, I can't help but hope I'll run into him. Enter my big brother calling and asking if his bestie can bunk with me. My younger self is doing backflips at the possibilities. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like Luke is looking for a long-term situation. He's made it clear he's got some business to take care of and then he's on the first train back to Chicago. But then he kisses me. And everything changes. At least, I hope it has . . .
