When September Comes (Dublin High and Westbridge Academy #4)

A young adult best friends to lovers second chance romance

Boonie

In junior high I couldn’t admit to my best friend I liked guys. Liked him. And I swore if he ever came back, I’d confess everything.

Running into him in the farm and home store gives me that chance. I almost don’t recognize the hot guy with pink hair and an eyebrow piercing. But some things haven’t the freckles on his face, the teasing smile, and the way my heart reaches for him.

I made a promise to my mule that I’d be honest with Dylan. But how can I do that when he’s already making plans to leave?

A family crisis forces us to work toward a common winning the team event at the local county mule festival. But winning means nothing if I lose Dylan again.

Dylan

I’m a walking cliché. City boy crushing on his straight clueless farm boy best friend. Boonie’s captain of the football team, with the muscles to prove it, but he’s also still that sweet guy trying to take care of everyone with the same devotion he has for his mule.

I soon realize Boonie isn’t as straight or clueless as I thought. Is it wrong to want him to wrap me in those big arms and never let go?

But working with Boonie and giving in to my feelings comes at a price. My plan to leave this town hasn’t changed. The only question is whether I leave with or without my heart.
