By Your Side

By: Everly, Nora

Two childhood friends.

One long forgotten pact.

And the almost kiss that changed everything.

I never planned on falling for Hunter Cassidy.

He'd been my best friend forever-the steady, loyal guy who fixed everything that broke in my life. My bar. My car. My heart, even when I swore I'd never let anyone near it again.

After my divorce, love was the last thing on my list. I had kids to raise, a business to save, and a thousand pieces of myself to put back together. But then Hunter reminded me of the pact we had made in high school-the one where we promised that if we were still single at forty, we would marry each other-and suddenly nothing felt safe anymore.

Because the man I once called safe was now the one who made my pulse race.

The one who waited for me outside my bar at closing time to make sure I was okay.

The one who looked at me like I had already been his all along...

Losing him as a friend would break me.

But risking my heart on him? That might finally make me whole.
