Friends Don’t Kiss — Small Town Friends to Lovers Romance Paperback

Best friends. A fake relationship. And one kiss that could cost them everything.

Colt is always there for me.

When my sister walks in with my ex on her arm, he’s there. When my family silently judges my empty ring finger, he’s there. When they ignore the cake I spent hours perfecting, he’s there. Becoming a pastry chef means more to me than they care to understand.

And Colt can’t stand to see me humiliated.

So when he pretends to be my boyfriend, I let him. He says he’s only helping me save face. That it doesn’t mean anything.

Except one fake kiss should have been the end of it.

Now he’s calling me sweetness, putting his hands where a best friend’s definitely shouldn’t go, and kissing me like he means it.

The worst part? I kiss him back.

And trying to backpedal this fake thing is proving harder than I thought. Because Colt isn’t just my friend. He’s the man who helped me build a life in Emerald Creek when I had nothing.

He’s my anchor. My home.

If this falls apart, I don’t just lose him.

I lose everything.
