Smoking Hot by Anna St. Martin

Jason has been in love with his best friend Julia since the first day he saw her in their college organic chemistry class over ten years ago. There was something about the breathtaking book worm this rugged west coast man’s deep blue gaze couldn’t resist. Believing she would never give up the excitement of life in the Big Apple for island life on the other side of the country, he kept his deep feelings for her under wraps throughout the years since college.
Julia could never have fathomed having a best friend as fun, devoted, and frankly, hot as Jason. What he saw in her, she didn’t know. He could have been spending his college years with any of the stunning co-eds who practically threw themselves at him. Instead, Julia was his go-to girl whether they were watching Friday night movies on her futon, studying, or taking one of Jason’s impromptu day trips. She knew she and her more introverted ways could never hold the attention of a serious stud like Jason in any romantic sort of way. Could she? Ten years into their friendship, her New York vixen neighbor and friend Maryn convinces Julia she needs to take a chance and get Jason out of her system or into her life.
When Julia to makes a cross-country trip to see Jason, their mutual unrequited lustful love crashes together, with unexpected turns and surprises along the way.
