Friends to Forever: A Steamy Friends-to-Lovers Alpha Romance Novella
Rowen Grey
Julia returns to Pine Cove to settle her father's estate -- one week, in and out. She's not expecting her best friend Ethan to pick her up with coffee waiting, soft eyes, and two decades of love she somehow never noticed.
Ethan has waited. Through her law career, her bad relationships, her late-night calls about heartbreak he wished he could fix with his own hands. He's never pushed. But now she's sleeping in his guest room, wearing his t-shirt, and he's running out of reasons to keep his distance.
When grief cracks her open, Ethan is there -- steady hands, warm meals, weighted blankets at exactly the right moment. And when Julia finally sees what everyone else has always known, she has to decide: return to the city that's burning her out, or stay with the man who's been choosing her all along.
Possessive-but-patient alpha hero, plus-size heroine, guaranteed HEA. Steamy, standalone, no third-act breakup.
