Wanting the Lumberjack: A Small Town, Curvy Girl, Instalove Romance
Joann Baker, Patricia Mason

Being Sutton’s best friend is like being the porch light—always on, always waiting.
I brought him soup when he was sick.
Laughed at his bad jokes.
Watched him kiss girls who weren’t me… and convinced myself it didn’t hurt.
But now?
I’m wearing red lipstick and letting someone else buy me a drink.
Because I’m done being invisible.
I thought Arabella would always be there.
Always laughing at my texts, rolling her eyes when I flirted, shaking her head when I did something stupid.
She was my constant.
And now?
She’s cold. Distant. Dancing with some other guy in the bar like I didn’t just finally realize I’m in love with her.
God help me…
I think I just lost the best thing I never deserved.
