    About this ebook

    She loved him first, but her best friend married him. Now, they’re divorced Brooke must choose between her best friend and the man of her dreams.

    Brooke Janson has loved Garrett Sawyer since she met him on her first day of high school. Now, he’s free to love her too. Except, his ex-wife happens to be her best friend.
    How can Brooke choose between a friend she’s known since kindergarten and the man her heart wants?

    Excerpt:
    Yes, he was her best friend’s ex-husband, but he was also her friend.
    His grip tightened when she shifted back to study his face. A few extra lines marked the corner of his eyes and revealed his tendency to laugh at life. His bright smile softened his resistance to comply with her demand to be free. “I’m not letting you go until you agree to come over this weekend.”
    His words exposed his desire to reconnect and fought against the sound reasons she’d compiled to keep her distance. Her traitorous body joined forces with him and responded to his alluring touch. Her nipples tightened. Her skin tingled. She wanted nothing more than to stay exactly where she was for as long as she could. “Garrett, I’m sure your new girlfriend wouldn’t like you standing here with your arms around me.”
    He chuckled, “I don’t think she’ll mind, seeing as I’m holding her.”

      Chapter One

      Strolling down the grocery aisle, Brooke Janson spotted a familiar man dressed in black. Garrett Sawyer was the one person in the world she didn’t expect to meet, see, or run into in a huge superstore.

      Memories flooded through her mind, and she adjusted the spaghetti strap of her shirt. Unable to pull her gaze from his lean, muscular frame encased in a black T-shirt and jeans, she silently wished she’d worn something sexier than an old pair of jeans and a tank top. She glanced down and remembered what she looked like in high school when they met.

      As an overweight teen, she’d worked hard to get his attention, had even helped him pass a few classes. They had become friends, and she’d decided he was everything she ever wanted in a man.

      At the end of the school year, he’d left for college. After graduating, he’d returned. They had reconnected at a party where she introduced him to her best friend, Janet. To Brook’s dismay, Garret and Janet started dating and married not long after Janet’s first year of community college. Sadly, less than a year later, it ended in a divorce because she cheated on him with one of her classmates.

      Suddenly unsure how to handle the situation, Brooke choked out his name. To her ultimate horror, he turned.

      His forehead wrinkled into a frown before he smiled and pushed his cart down the aisle. Hello, Brooke.

      Ignoring the sudden butterflies in her stomach, she waved a casual hand. Hi, Garrett. It’s been awhile.

      I believe it was just a few weeks before Janet moved out. It’s been almost a year. He stepped forward.

      Janet told me about the divorce. I debated whether to call, but, well...I didn’t know what to say. To
