For six years, Nyx’s best friend has hidden one impossible secret. He watched her grow up. He became part of her family. He swore he’d never cross the line. Then, on New Year’s Eve, one too many drinks at Rita’s shatter every promise he’s ever made. Minutes before midnight, he confesses he’s been in love with her since she was sixteen… completely unaware that she’s listening from the staircase. Now, with the truth finally out, the countdown to midnight isn’t the only thing that can’t be stopped.
