Ginny's Crush: A closed-door brother's best friend romance
About this ebook
Ginny White isn’t interested in marriage and kids—which makes it convenient that her boyfriend is more committed to surfing than her.
At least until she ends up the third wheel on a bachelor-party weekend and Justen Barrett walks out of the mist.
Her high school crush.
Her brother’s best friend.
Let’s just say her relationship doesn’t survive the aftermath.
Pursuing him is a bad idea—even if she’s single now.
But when Ginny accidentally becomes his little sister’s maid of honour, avoiding him becomes impossible… and keeping her fantasies in check even harder.
He makes her feel seen in ways she’s never been before.
But Justen’s life is complicated.
Two daughters. A difficult ex-wife. A sister he practically raised. A dying father.
Everyone needs something from him.
And after coming second to surfing with her ex, Ginny knows one thing for sure:
This time, she needs to come first.
Something she absolutely can’t be with Justen.
But he stole flowers for her on their first date.
And with every glance, every quiet moment, every kiss… walking away gets harder.
Maybe this high-school crush isn’t a fantasy after all.
AUTHOR’S NOTE: Ginny’s Crush is a closed-door, brother’s-best-friend romance with an accidental maid of honour situation, a single dad, and a high school crush come true.

About the author
NICOLE TAYLOR EBY has been in love with romance since she fell for her first book boyfriend. Now she writes closed-door contemporary romance with just a hint of spice— because a little bit of heat is tantalizing. Her stories are set on the rugged and beautiful west coast of Canada and feature relatable heroines, the sweet and sexy men who fall for them, and a guaranteed happily‑ever‑after.
A former member of the Canadian Navy, Nicole now lives with PTSD and severe anxiety—challenges that shape her life and fuel her creativity. Writing romance has become a kind of therapy for her: a place where love is steady, healing, and full of hope. And because Nicole has never done anything the easy way, she’s also late diagnosed ADHD, which adds its own brand of spicy chaos to everything!
Nicole lives on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada with her husband and three children. When she’s not writing, she’s exploring the outdoors, attempting to revive her rugby career—as a perimenopausal woman (eek!)—or obsessively crocheting bunnies in hoodies (a little humour for our Saskatchewan friends, who call a hoodie a “bunny hug”).
