Falling for my Brothers Best Friend.

By Tia L. Dunfort

When your brother's best friend becomes impossible to resist...

Lela Mathis has spent four years trapped behind the gray stone walls of St. Catherine's Academy while her brother Gavin lived the college dream at Westlake Prep. Now, Finally, she's earned her freedom-- an academic scholarship to the same school where Gavin plays hockey alongside his inseparable best friend, Cedrick Vance.

The same Cedrick who's been the subject of Lela's secret, desperate crush for as long as she can remember. The one with the perfect smile, sun-kissed hair, and emerald eyes that make her stomach flutter every time he calls her "kid."

But when rumors threaten to destroy Lela's reputation before her new life even begins, Cedrick makes an unexpected move: a very public, very fake relationship designed to protect her. It's supposed to be simple. Pretend. Just for show.

Except the kisses feel anything but fake. And the way Cedrick looks at her when no one's watching? Thats definitely real.

As the line between pretend and reality blurs with every stolen moment. Lela faces an impossible choice: keep hiding what they both feel, or risk everything-- including Gavins trust-- for a chance at something she's wanted her entire life.

Because Cedrick has a secret of his own: he's been waiting for her, too. And he's done pretending.

A forbidden, brother's-best-friend romance full of tension, heat, and the kind of love worth breaking all the rules for.
