I’ve been in love with my brother’s best friend, Brady Thomas, since I was old enough to know what love was. It didn’t matter that he was older than me or that my brother would disapprove, there was no changing the way that I felt about him. I planned to keep my feelings a secret, telling myself it was nothing but a silly crush. Then Brady did the unthinkable, he kissed me before leaving without a word.

That one kiss changed everything. Instead of getting the happily ever after I dreamed of, I spent months waiting for any hint that our kiss meant something to him. That he felt something, anything close to what I feel for him, but the only thing I got was the silent treatment.

Now, a little over a year later, Brady is back in town stirring up all the feelings I’ve been trying desperately to forget. The moment our eyes lock across my brother’s bar I feel the walls around my heart begin to crumble. But I refuse to make the same mistake twice.

If Brady wants a chance at my heart, then he’s going to have to fight for it.
