A stand alone brother's best friend romance about Ash Talmadge & Amelia Ballentine by USA Today bestselling author K.A. Linde...

Ash Talmadge is everything I shouldn't want.

My brother's best friend. A too charismatic, too attractive Southern gentleman. And obsessed with someone else.

But she's finally out of the picture. I put two years between their break-up just to be sure. This is finally my chance.

His focus is all on me. Exactly where I wanted it to be since high school when he saved me from humiliation. And after college when he finally realised I was more than just his best friend's little sister.

There's only one person who could ruin this for me.

I've waited this long.

I'm willing to wait for always.
