To Lagos for Love: A Friends-to-Lovers Romance

Summary

Laura Ross doesn't know what circle of hell she's in, but it's torture. Because somewhere between business meetings and late-night laughter, and somewhere in the midst of her boss, Natasha Ainsworth, transforming her into a successful luxury real estate agent, Laura fell. Hard. Confessing her feelings could break the most meaningful friendship of her life. So Laura swallows them down, wears a smile, and politely declines Natasha's yearly invitation to her annual getaway in Portugal. The temptation to go one comment or one touch further would be too great.

Natasha is considering a permanent move to Portugal, telling herself she's ready for a slower pace of life, better weather, and a fresh start. But the truth is, it's Laura. Or more accurately, it's everything Natasha can't say to her. The feelings that build every time Laura smiles, and the words she's terrified will escape her lips and ruin everything: Want. Need. Love. And then, after years of refusals, Laura shows up on the doorstep of Natasha's clifftop villa, suitcase in hand. Can time alone beneath the Portuguese sun unlock the dream of a future they both thought impossible? Or will secrets and long-held fears unravel it all before it's even begun?

Contains mature themes.
