When your world falls apart, where do you turn?
Sutton Scott has her entire life mapped out—getting her degree, marrying her longtime boyfriend Kade, then having three kids, a cat, and a dog.
Anchor Jones is scorned by love and has no desire to tie himself down like his lifelong friend Kade. He has his sights set on adventure.
Until one night when the unthinkable happens. Kade dies in Sutton’s arms. With their worlds shattered, Anchor and Sutton turn to each other. Feelings intensify, but so does guilt. The attraction can’t be denied, but then Sutton reveals a secret that changes everything. He’s jolted, conflicted. Maybe falling for her was a mistake. Or maybe it was the best decision he ever made.
After they leave, I settle into a chair then close my eyes. I try to sleep, figuring Sutton and her mom have a lot to talk about. But instead of sleep, my mind gives me images of Kade and Sutton as the happy couple. There’s no denying how perfect they were for each other. I loved watching them together. They gave me hope that I might find the same kind of happiness.
I never once dreamed that it would be Sutton I’d eventually fall for. I’d have never done that to Kade. Yet here I am. Just the thought of her gives my heart palpitations. Seeing her beauty makes me want—no, need—to kiss those lips.
But I can’t. For both her and for Kade. I have to keep my desires to myself and be okay with it. We need each other to be able to get past our unsurmountable loss. What happens beyond that is anyone’s guess. And I have to be okay with whatever the outcome is. The last thing I’m going to do is ruin our friendship and add further hardship to Sutton’s life.
