Three Months of Casual

Seven years after their childhood friendship ended without warning, writer Dani Tsai crosses paths in New York City with Parker Tran, the boy next door from Silverpine, Oregon.

She had been the quiet, bookish dreamer; he had been charming, popular, and bound for football stardom, an unlikely pair of best friends until college pulled them apart.

Parker, now a sports marketing director on a temporary assignment and dressed in designer suits instead of a jersey, seems sure they can be friends again.

Dani cannot quite resist him, and one impulsive kiss turns into heated nights in his hotel suite under a three-month agreement to stay casual, with no strings attached.

The longer they try to keep lust separate from anything deeper, the less that arrangement looks like something either of them can hold.
