The Noel Crush (The Noel #3)

Justin “Huck” Miller
She’s always been off-limits. My best friend’s little sister. The girl in pigtails who grew up trailing behind us like a shadow. But last Christmas, Charlotte Durand showed up in a red dress, making it impossible to see her as anything but trouble. The kind of trouble that keeps me up at night, wondering what if. Now she’s back in Noel, working at the hospital, living too damn close, and acting like we never crossed that line. I should keep my distance. But every time she looks at me, I forget why I ever tried.

Charlotte “Charlie” Durand
I was never supposed to fall for him. Huck’s ten years older. My brother’s best friend. The one I swore was just a harmless crush. But one night changed everything. We said it didn’t count. We agreed to forget it. Then I moved back to Noel, and forgetting became impossible. He’s everywhere—helping my brother, showing up with that crooked grin, still calling me Vixen like it doesn’t mean anything. Maybe to him, it doesn’t. But to me? It might mean everything.

First crush. Secret fling. Small town. No chance in hell they’re keeping it quiet.
