Maverick Ramsey has always known one truth-he'll love his childhood best friend, Cora Hawkins, until his last breath. She's been there through every loss, every deployment, every life change. She's the first person he calls when his world is falling apart. But no matter how hard he fights, there's one battlefield he can't seem to win-breaking free of the friend zone.
Cora Hawkins has kept only two secrets from Maverick-one could shatter their friendship, and the other could end her life.
She's in love with him.
And she has a stalker.
When danger closes in, Maverick will do whatever it takes to protect Cora. But loving her has always been his greatest weakness...and now it could be the one thing that costs them everything.
