From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone, second-chance story of forbidden love…
It’s natural to want the one you can’t have. And for as long as I could remember, I’d secretly wanted my brother’s best friend, Jace.
He was six years older and always treated me like the sister he never had.
Fast forward a decade.
We were all in our twenties now. Jace had moved in with my brother, Nathan, and me to help us make ends meet after our parents died.
It was just the three of us—an odd family dynamic.
Living under our roof, Jace was as bossy and protective as ever.
But he certainly didn’t look at me like a sister anymore. That was what made things so complicated.
I was pretty much hot and bothered twenty-four-seven.
And he was torn.
The signs were subtle, at first. Like on movie night, I’d casually rest my leg against his, and he wouldn’t exactly shift away.
Still, I assumed he would never…go there.
Nathan would kill us.
The knowledge of that wasn’t enough to stop the inevitable, though.
Eventually our slow burn exploded.
But more than the physical attraction, we’d developed a strong connection.
We just couldn’t get caught, right?
That sounded simple.
Until it wasn’t.
This is a story of forbidden love, broken trust, and an unexpected second chance.

Another great book by Penelope Ward. You can never go wrong with her books.
This book was very intense and emotional and bought tears to my eyes throughout.
the story is also about taking chances and forgiveness. I loved the forbidden friends to lovers journey that Jace and Farrah took together.
There was angst in spades because there relationship was fodbidden. The chemistry between them from the very start was explosive. It had a balanced storyline of it being very sexy but at the same time sweet and romantic.
Jace and Farrah grew up together but he always felt unworthy of his love and attraction to her but when they got older the pull to her became to much to handle.
I loved jace and Farrah. One of my favourite characters from her books.
