For a future with the best friend he hurt, this heartthrob will have to grovel his way to happily ever after. Gage Bronx When I signed up to play the lead role in a movie filming in my hometown, I only wanted to help provide for my sick brother. I never planned to become the next "big" thing. Now, the whole world is watching every move I make. But I'm not worried about fortune or fame. All I want is my curvy best friend, Troian Alessi. With graduation approaching, this is my final chance to make my move. But I didn't plan for a spur-of-the-moment lie to send my carefully laid plans up in flames. Now, she thinks I don't want her, and someone may be waiting in the wings to take my place. I refuse to let that happen. I'm not losing the only person I've ever loved. One way or another, I will be the leading man in Troian's life. This alpha may be young, but he knows exactly who and what he wants in this steamy friends-to-lovers rom-com! A shorter version of Keeper of Hearts was previously published in the Have a Heart anthology.
