For years, Wade Mercer has loved you quietly. In rides home after late shifts. In repaired engines and checked tire pressure. In every phone call answered before the second ring. In every moment he chose to show up without being asked. You never noticed. Until suddenly you did. Now the man who’s always felt like home is the one thing you can’t stop wanting—and Wade is convinced you deserve someone better than him. Which would be a lot easier to believe if he didn’t love you quite so much.
