Description

Damián is a pro football player and my loyal friend of many years.  I rejected him once, but eight years later, I can’t stop thinking about kissing him.

I should focus on making my new bookstore flourish, not on how Damián gives me everything I want in love… except touch.

We truly care for each other. He supports my business dreams; I mind his home and puppy during away games. I’m the first person he calls, win or loss, and he loves to pamper me for no reason.

Now my knees go weak when Damián runs his fingers through my hair, and his eyes tell me he wants me just as much.

But losing Damián means losing my best friend and the man I’m falling for. Doing something about my feelings is a life-changing risk I can’t afford.
