Jake has loved his best friend, Lily, for as long as he can remember. But his fear of rejection keeps him silent. He needs her in his life—even if it’s only as just a friend.
All throughout high school, he watched from the sidelines as she dated other guys. He was the shoulder she cried on when they broke her heart—while she broke his.
Desperate to escape the pain of wanting her but never having her, Jake joins the Marines, hoping distance will help him forget.
But no amount of time or training can erase his feelings.
Lily is embedded deep within his soul, and there’s no getting her out.
So, when Jake finally returns home, he’s determined to claim her as his. After all, she was always meant to be.
This marine has pined for his curvy best friend long enough. He’s determined that they will go from friends to lovers once and for all!
