Hush Money

Ten years ago, I made the wrong choice.

I chose a life that was all wrong for me... instead of the billionaire best friend I'd secretly loved but never thought I deserved.

Now fate's handed me a do-over. I need rescuing-and who is the knight that comes blazing through in his Escalade?

My long-lost best friend.

He takes me in. Lifts me up. And then lays me back down-if you know what I mean.

Lines are crossed, boundaries are blurry, and I'm faced with the same decision that I had to make all those years ago. And once again, I'm staring down the same impossible choice I faced all those years ago.

Only this time, it's not impossible. This time, I'm choosing me. Choosing us.

But he's caught in a storm of his own. Trouble big enough to shatter everything. The world as he knows it may quite literally be ending.

What he doesn't know is that mine has always revolved around him. And now that I've been given a second chance, I'll burn it all down before I lose him again.
