Roman DeLuca has been her best friend for as long as she can remember. What she doesn’t know is that he’s been hopelessly in love with her for nearly as long. They grew up, dated other people, and built separate lives—but somehow, his hands still find her waist, she still melts into his arms, and neither of them knows how to stay away from the other. They’ve spent years calling it friendship. Roman has spent years being patient. But when another man threatens to become something permanent in her life, Roman finally realizes one thing: He was never her friend without wanting to be hers. And he’s done waiting.
