Just One More Time

She was my best friend and hooking up was a bad idea-but I let it happen anyway.

Then I walked away like it meant nothing-biggest mistake of my life.

Now I'm back in town, and avoiding Brooke Snyder is impossible. She's in my office, in my head, and sleeping in the room next to mine.

She's not that sweet, shy girl anymore. She's bold. Beautiful. Still a little hurt-and dangerous to my self-control.

Every glance is a reminder of what I destroyed. Every brush of her skin is a torturous memory of what I can't have.

But between long days at work and nights when her walls start to crumble, I fall for her all over again.

Though danger is lurking, threatening everything and everyone I care about, I've learned my lesson.

This time I won't run.

I'm all in. For her. For us. Forever.
