Synopsis:
Amy Porter has had a thing for her twin brother’s best friend since she was a teenager. After being considered “one of the boys” throughout her childhood, he’s the first guy to look at her and see past the tomboy she used to be. Unfortunately, he’s also completely off-limits. She does her best to move on as the years go by, but it’s not until her life takes a drastic turn that she finally accepts the fact that they aren’t meant to be. However, as her world crumbles around her, Nate always seems to be close by to help her pick up the pieces.
Nate Miller knows that Amy is the one girl he can never have. No matter how badly he wants her, he won’t risk destroying his friendship; especially when her brother goes overseas with the Marines and makes Nate promise to look out for her. As life continues to get in the way and keep them apart, the only logical choice is to give up… but giving up is the last thing he wants to do.
With so many obstacles stacked up against them, can they make it or are they headed for a breakdown?
Excerpt
I’m halfway through my senior year of high school and I
haven’t been kissed or even been out on a date. For the most part, I think I’m
fairly decent-looking. I guess I’m a little plain, and definitely not drop-dead
gorgeous like some of the girls I go to school with, but I’m not ugly either.
So why am I seventeen years old and totally inexperienced?
Dex Porter.
My overbearing, overprotective twin brother has made sure
that I am completely unattainable to all males within the vicinity of
Charleston, South Carolina. Anytime a guy has shown even the slightest interest
in me, Dex steps in and scares them away. People have always been intimidated
by my brother, but now that he’s spent the last year training to join the Marines,
and has become a solid brick of muscle, it’s only gotten worse. No guy wants to risk going up against
him, and there’s nothing I can say to change their minds. I’ve long since
accepted the fact that I’m going to be the most inexperienced freshman on the
entire college campus.
It never used to bother me all that much because there
weren’t any guys in our high school that really interested me. There’s only
person I’ve ever truly wanted to date, kiss or do anything with, and he is
totally, one hundred percent off-limits. Not only does he go to our school, but
he’s also my brother’s best friend.
Nate Miller.
