A Sexy, Friends to Lovers, Secret Relationship, Small-Town Romance by bestselling author Chelle Sloan. I can’t remember a time when I haven’t loved my childhood best friend, Amelia. Her big brown eyes and beautiful smile have had a hold on me since we were teenagers. Hell, I even love her kids as if they were my own. Now, she’s divorced, and after twenty years, it’s time to make my move. The tension between us finally erupts and I kiss her. Imagine my surprise when she doesn’t push me away but says she wants to give us a try. Except she has one condition: We keep it a secret. I’ll do anything for her, even this. But I can’t help but want to shout to the world that the woman of my dreams is finally mine. I inadvertently do it when her ex-husband rolls back into town. A man I’ve hated since high school. He riles me up and I blurt out Amelia and I are engaged. We’re not. Now, we have to pretend to plan a wedding while our meddling town watches. I’ve waited over twenty years for my chance. Will this cost me the one I love?

I hate Simon Banks. I also hate tequila. The first makes my blood boil with his devilish smirk and giant…ego. The second makes me do questionable things. Specifically, with Simon. Fine. Whatever. It’s a blip on my radar. Even though I can’t stop thinking about memories of our night…or his hands…and that mouth. But I have more important things to do—like finally opening my dream restaurant in the small town of Rolling Hills. There’s just one problem—he lives here. I’m bound and determined to not let that stop me. He’s bound and committed to get under my skin. And here's another thing I hate - it's working. His smug smile. His clever jokes. The way my body heats when he’s around. Our looks of longing and the sizzling tension between us. Not to mention his bare, chiseled chest running past my restaurant every day. He’s becoming too hard to resist. I'm starting to realize there's a thin line between love and hate. Ours just happens to be two pink ones...
