Everyone in their little Texas town knows Beau Callahan and Y/N Parker are inseparable. They’ve been best friends since childhood. They share everything. His hoodies, her secrets, late-night drives, inside jokes, and a friendship so close that nobody bothers questioning where the boundaries are anymore. Especially not her. Because Beau calling her sweetheart? Normal. His hand on the small of her back? Normal. Falling asleep on his shoulder? Normal. Kissing him? Complicated, maybe—but definitely not love. At least, that’s what she tells herself. Then Cole Bennett shows up at a party. He’s new to town, interested in her, and completely unaware that he’s just walked directly into the middle of a love story that’s been years in the making. And Beau? Beau is suddenly discovering that watching another guy flirt with his best friend feels a lot less like jealousy and a lot more like losing something that was never technically his. The worst part? She still has absolutely no idea why he’s acting so jealous. Because she’s convinced they’re just best friends. And Beau has spent years being too afraid to tell her otherwise.
