The One I Love

Summary

What do you do when your childhood best friend says he's in love with you? Propose a secret relationship, that's what.

Shane Cunningham has been part of my life since he saved me from the elementary school bully. Now he's kissing me out of nowhere. And I like it. A lot.

I used to see him as just Shane. Now he's the man who makes me feel butterflies. And don't get me started on how good he looks in his leather jacket and jeans. Or his police uniform. He even has my breakfast order memorized. It's enough to make this single mom swoon.

I never thought I'd love again after my divorce. But with Shane I'm ready. Mostly.

So I propose an idea: Let's keep this a secret. For now. Just until we figure things out. What's that they say about the best laid plans? I know Shane is the one I love.

But will the secret I forced on him tear us apart before we can begin?

Contains mature themes.
