Aly Chase has worked for Paul Pierce for years, loving him
from afar. He is handsome, rich, and the powerful CEO of Pierce Homes. Just
when Aly has decided her love for him is futile and vows to move on, Paul
begins to give Aly the attention she had always desired, forcing her to feel
confused by his actions.
Then there's Aly’s best friend, Ethan Baker. He's sweet, handsome and charming. He is also in love with her. He's accepted that Aly and he will only be friends, until one day Aly realizes that her feelings towards Ethan are way more.
Aly is caught in between the man she’s loved for so long and the man that has always been there for her. As her feelings are pulled and tugged in both directions, she must make a choice before her distorted life loses both of them.

Excerpt:
“You’re beautiful, you know that?” he asked.
I stopped what I was doing and looked at him. He
was just sitting there, casually watching me with the sweetest look on his
face. My heart lurched and I was frozen.
His brows drew together. “I mean it,” he said.
I gave him a small smile. “Thank you,” I said
quietly as I got his food out of the microwave. I put it on his
plate and handed him a beer from the fridge. He smiled at me as he
twisted up a mouthful on his fork and dove in.
I leaned on the counter, drinking another glass of wine,
and watching him eat. He popped the cap off of his beer and took a
long drink. He set the bottle down with a big, “Ahh,” and gave me a
silly grin.
“Ethan, what did I do to deserve you?” I asked, suddenly
very serious.
He stopped mid-chew and looked at me. “What
brought that on?”
I sighed and set down my wine glass. “I don’t
know. I just see you here, with me, being so cute, and I
wonder. I mean, you know I’ve been in love with Paul for years, yet
you never wavered, you stayed with me. And even now, when we’ve developed more
to our relationship and I haven’t been able to give you any promises, you’re
still here.”
He set his fork down and shoved off his stool, walking
around the bar to come next to me. He grabbed my hips and pulled me
to him, wrapping me in his arms. He kissed the top of my head,
rubbing my back.
“Aly, you know better than that. I am here to stay,
no matter what you decide. If you ultimately decide Paul is the man for
you, or anyone else for that matter, I can’t say it won’t kill me, but I’ll
always love you. We were friends first and we will be friends last, no
matter what.”
