Dream Team by Anita Knight

She’s terrified of listening to her heart. He’s been in love with her for years. One kiss will change everything.

Mackenzie:
Why do they call it falling in love? Because there’s only one way to go— down.
Love ruins everything, which is why I simply can’t trust my heart when important decisions are on the line. Like which car to buy or who I’m going to marry.
Logic and cold hard facts are the only way to approach relationships. There’s no opportunity for heartbreak if your heart isn’t involved, right?
That’s precisely why I’m dating my boyfriend. We’re such a good match that if he asked me to marry him… I might even say yes. Everything is going according to plan.
Until my best friend Derek kisses me.
Suddenly, I’m having these crazy feelings, and my whole life starts spinning out of control.
But the scariest part of all of this is that I’m pretty sure I enjoyed his kiss… and I may have even kissed him back.
This was definitely not a part of my plan…

Derek:
Watching Mackenzie date other guys has never bothered me too much.
Until she started dating the guy she’s with now.
He’s an ass in every way, and she deserves so much more than him. But she’s blinded by her own stubborn rules.
I told myself they’ll break up eventually when he inevitably does something too asinine to forgive, but then Kenzie goes and tells me he’s planning to propose. And that she’ll say yes.
Kenzie? And that jerk? Married?
I can’t let that happen.
If Kenzie wants to live life according to some frigid list of made-up rules, that’s fine. But I’m not letting her throw her life away with that idiot without knowing what it feels like to be kissed by someone who truly loves her.
Because I do. I always have, and I always will.
I just hope I can make her see that before it’s too late.
