He’s Just A Guy by Karly Stratford

She doesn’t need a guy to save her.
He doesn’t need a woman to be happy.
Both are lying to themselves.

Max:
He stopped breathing when she opened the door, and his brain refused to work.
Allie Dalton. His friend’s little sister, and the one girl he’d always wanted to go out with, but had never found the courage to ask.
She was staring at him. Was that surprise in her gaze, or irritation?
He should say something.

Allie:
With her sister in a cast from her toes to her hip, Allie doesn’t expect anything but movies and take-out for the week.
Then Max Ashly—her secret crush from high school—knocks on the door.
Allie just sent yet another roommate off into wedded bliss, and isn’t in the mood for some super-handsome, well-dressed guy to sweep her off her feet.
But this was Max, and she’d always wondered what it would be like to hold his hand…
Can Max and Allie get over their personal issues and seize the day, or will they allow themselves to drift apart once again?
