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.

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.
