A Best Friends to Lovers Romance by USA Today Bestselling Author Lynn Burke

Career-ending injury.

The most dream-crushing words I’ve ever heard. Goodbye NFL’s Rookie of the Year title I fought for since I was a kid, hello return to my small-town origins and wallow in unrequited love. Seeing my best friend Chaz married and trying for a baby will hurt worse than any torn ACL.

But things have changed since I escaped Pippen Creek—Chaz flounders beneath financial burdens and emotional turmoil instead of living his happily ever after.

Friendship takes precedence over longing, and I gladly take on the roles of comforter and supporter since those who have the right to love him out loud only see his failures. However, the more time I spend with Chaz, the harder it is to hide my feelings.

In a moment of mutual weakness, unexpected passion ignites.

Secret betrayal is a poisonous infection, but a twist of fate uncovers even more truths that further wound us both.

Will forgiveness allow us to survive traumatic grief and overcome guilt? Or will too much honesty end the other dream of always that has owned my heart since childhood?

Returning Your Love is a dreams crushed and wishes come true HEA between a nudist enthusiast and a secret bisexual. There are forehead kisses, pinkie holding, and deep discussions beneath the stars. These pining best friends will put you through the wringer and hang you out to dry, so pack tissues for this angsty ride!

Pippen Creek is an Elite Escorts MM spin-off. Jamie appeared in Five Days, book 5.

Jed Walker is starting to think that cheerful oblivion about his feelings is the key to being fake married.

Jed Walker thinks he’s having a midlife crisis. The only trouble is that it feels too good to stop. 

Widowed at a young age, he’s spent his life since then avoiding any relationships that might end up hurting him again. He has his successful wedding planning business, Confetti Hitched, and a series of uncomplicated hookups, and that’s all he needs in life. 

The one person disrupting this controlled stoicism is his younger assistant, Artie. He’s sweet and kind and has a funny way of calming Jed’s mind. So, when Artie comes to him with a problem, Jed moves heaven and earth to help, which is how he finds himself entering a fake marriage with the younger man and catching feelings. Too bad it’s all pretend. Or is it? 

From bestselling author Lily Morton comes a story about how love can completely derail the best-laid plans.

This is the third book in the Confetti Hitched series, but it can be read as a standalone.

EXCERPT

Jed shifts the salt and pepper shakers, pushing them together neatly, and then stacks the napkins. It’s only when he straightens the tablecloth that I realise he’s nervous.

“Are you okay?” I blurt out.

He looks up, startled, and his green eyes look almost gold in the low light. “I’m fine,” he says. He hesitates and then says abruptly, “I’d like to know about your wedding. Have you been seeing your fiancé a long while? You never said you were seeing anyone.” The pause is a beat too long. “Would you like me to organise it for you? It would be free as an employee of Confetti Hitched.” He licks his lip. “A very valued employee,” he adds softly. “And—”

Without thinking, I place my hand over his, cutting off his tumble of words. A beat of silence drops, and then he removes his hand and scratches his eyebrow awkwardly. For a second, his gaze seems to focus on my mouth, but he glances away when a waiter approaches our table.

It wouldn’t be the first time I’ve imagined him liking me and been disabused. It’s total wish fulfilment on my part, and I know it.

The waiter deposits our drinks and scurries away, and I sigh when Jed looks at me and raises his eyebrow. He’s not giving up on this.

“It’s a long story,” I say rather inanely. 

“We have all the time you need.”

“What time does this place close?” I glance around the busy café, seeking distraction.

“Two in the morning. Plenty of time to talk about your wedding. Who’s the lucky man?” He seems to fumble that last question.

“Well, there’s the thing…” 

He regards me patiently. That steady calmness is one of his best qualities. You feel safe with him. I run my hand through my hair.

His gaze sharpens. “Artie, what’s the matter?” He hesitates and then adds fiercely, “Are you in some kind of trouble? If you are, I want you to tell me and I will sort it out for you.”

I gape at him. “How did you get from a wedding to trouble?”

He rolls his eyes, but his cheeks are flushed. “It’s not such a big reach in our profession. Especially if you employ Raff and Joe.” He offers his hand, and I put my own in his without thinking. It should be startling to hold hands with my gorgeous boss, but somehow, it’s as natural as taking my next breath—smooth and right. “Tell me,” he stresses. “I know you’re troubled.” He gestures at my face with his free hand. “Your face gives you away every time.”

I groan. “And that’s my curse in life.” I feel his hand slip away from mine with sadness and then square my shoulders. “I need to get married.”

“Need to?” His gaze is laser focused, and I shift uneasily under it. I bet he was a good policeman, because he’s patient and steady until he gets his own way.

EXCERT: According to Dad, Coach Bernard was ready and willing to hand over his whistle to me, just like he had figured. Hell, Coach himself had called and begged me to return since my NFL career ended prematurely. He wanted to retire knowing his boys would be looked after, that someone who loved football as much as he did would continue his goal of making something out of our small town’s team.

I held no such high hopes. Never had. Rarely did Pippen Creek even have a winning season. Hell, we barely ever had enough kids try out to make a team. I’d been the one and only Bobcat to get a college scholarship, and the fact I’d made it to the NFL had given me Hollywood status back home. That was what Dad claimed, anyway. I hadn’t been there since Chaz’s wedding to see or hear that kind of gossip for myself.

But that might be about to change…

I sat up, leaned forward, elbows on knees, and stared out my dark windows at the twinkling lights of Boston. Could I find contentment in Pippen Creek now that my dreams had been buried six feet under? Was it possible to exist in the same small town as my once best friend and his wife while pining for a taste of his mouth and the feel his body moving against mine?

Groaning, I closed my eyes and hung my head as my dick shifted between my thighs. “Don’t get any ideas.”

Still, I took a long, hot shower and ended up jerking off to various fantasies of Chaz. On his knees in front of me. Bouncing on my dick. Filling my ass while staring into my eyes. 

I came hard, gasping for breath and leaning against the tile wall when my legs threatened to buckle. 

Probably a mistake even thinking about returning home, but I missed football like a motherfucker and the high over fighting to win. I needed something to immerse myself in that would offer me a sense of the joy that had been torn from me with a single tackle.

I just hoped the choice didn’t lead to even more heartache.
