Harper Quinn never planned on romance when she moved back to her quiet hometown least of all with the one man who’s always been off-limits: her best friend’s older brother. But Drew Maddox isn’t the awkward kid she remembers. He’s a steady, brooding firefighter now, with a quick smirk and a gentleness that makes her rethink every promise she made.
Sharing the same house, Harper and Drew try to keep things casual. Still, it doesn’t take long for long looks to stretch into touches, for unspoken feelings to press too close to hide. The problem is Maddie Harper’s best friend, Drew’s fiercely protective sister, and the one person Harper swore she’d never betray.
Stuck between loyalty and a love that feels impossible to ignore, Harper has to choose which promise matters most. And when the truth finally surfaces, the fallout could ruin everything friendship, trust, and the fragile future she and Drew have only begun to imagine.
Can love survive when breaking the rules means breaking someone’s heart?
