Brother's Best Friend Loves Me Not
Mistakes? I’ve made plenty.
The biggest one? Falling head over heels for Brian Lockwood—my brother’s best friend and the captain of the school’s basketball team. For years, I lived in the shadow of my one wish: for him to see me as more than just Simon’s little sister.
But how could he, with Lyla, his perfect girlfriend, glued to his side?
Then everything changed. Lyla cheated, Brian’s heart shattered, and he was desperate for a distraction. That’s when he came to me with a deal—a no-strings-attached arrangement where we could give each other exactly what we wanted.
I saw my chance. I thought I could make him fall in love with me. But I didn’t account for how messy things could get—how keeping it all a secret from Simon would twist everything. And when Brian crossed a line I couldn’t forgive, I knew it was time to let go of my high school crush.
Fast forward three years. I’m over him. Or so I tell myself.
Except now Brian’s back, no longer the heartbroken boy I knew but a leading basketball star with one goal: to win me over.
I swore I wouldn’t fall for him again.
