In a novel thatβs 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 βjust friendsβ?
When Parker Blanton meets Ben Olsen during her freshman year of college, the connection is immediateβand platonic. Six years later, theyβre still best friends, sharing an apartment in Portlandβs trendy Northwest District as they happily settle into adult life. But when Parkerβs boyfriend dumps her out of the blue, she starts to wonder about Benβs no-strings-attached approach to dating. The trouble is, even with Ben as her wingman, Parker canβt seem to get the hang of casual sexβuntil 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 Parkerβs 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 canβt go back. And maybe, deep down, they never want to.
