My best friend and I have a deal. One summer. One bed. One rule—no strings attached.
We’re complete opposites—he’s a brooding, sullen musician, I’m the frat boy football star. No matter how much he makes my heart race, it would never work. Not only are my feelings one-sided, but Dylan doesn’t fit my vision of a picture-perfect future…or my family’s.
But when a group trip to Europe starts with us sharing a room, there are things I can’t ignore.
His pretty lips. The yearning in his eyes. The one bed we have to share. I need to focus on my future and my family—but when he suggests a summer fling, the lines are crossed. The deeper I go, the more I can’t hide it anymore.
Summer is coming to an end…and our arrangement might have more than a few strings.
