Cherishing His Best Friend by Alexa McLean

You only get a second chance once, so don’t blow it, especially when it involves the most beautiful girl in the world.

Reis set off from his small hometown hoping that one day he could return and treat his childhood crush like the Queen she is.
He just never expected to return during a crisis.
And frankly, Brandi never thought she would see his face again.

Now, they’re neighbors.

He knew that she needed him and so he bought a house on a whim just to get that much closer to her.
Brandi knows better than to play with fire but she just can’t help herself.
Reis is even more handsome than he was before and that’s saying something.
How is she supposed to deny a guy that looks like a Greek God?

She just has to keep reminding herself that this is only temporary – that he only showed up for her father’s funeral and that he’ll be gone by daybreak.
Or is there more to this story?
