In a novel that’s perfect for fans of Alice Clayton and Emma
Chase, USA Today bestselling author Lauren Layne delivers a
sexy take on the timeless question: Can a guy and a girl
really be “just friends”?
When Parker Blanton meets Ben Olsen during her freshman year
of college, the connection is immediate—and platonic. Six
years later, they’re still best friends, sharing an
apartment in Portland’s trendy Northwest District as they
happily settle into adult life. But when Parker’s boyfriend
dumps her out of the blue, she starts to wonder about Ben’s
no-strings-attached approach to dating. The trouble is, even
with Ben as her wingman, Parker can’t seem to get the hang
of casual sex—until she tries it with him.
The arrangement works perfectly . . . at first. The sex is
mind-blowing, and their friendship remains as solid as ever,
without any of the usual messy romantic entanglements. But
when Parker’s ex decides he wants her back, Ben is shocked
by a fierce stab of possessiveness. And when Ben starts
seeing a girl from work, Parker finds herself plagued by
unfamiliar jealousy. With their friendship on the rocks for
the first time, Parker and Ben face an alarming truth: Maybe
they can’t go back. And maybe, deep down, they never want to.
