About this ebook
I held back because sometimes a friendship is worth not fighting for. Now I’m not so sure.
Shane Mason is a former fighter turned actor who hides his pain—and his growing love for Erica—behind an easy smile and unwavering loyalty. Being her friend feels safer than risking rejection.
Erica Ellis appears to have it all—bestseller status, critical acclaim, and a television deal that’s changing her life. What she can’t escape is the longing she feels for the one man who’s firmly placed her in the friend zone.
Until one unforgettable night changes everything.
When Erica doesn’t remember what they shared, doubt and insecurity threaten to tear Shane apart. Shane must decide whether to walk away quietly—or finally fight for the woman he’s always loved.
A heartfelt contemporary romance about friendship, self-worth, and realizing that love may have been there all along.
