Best Kept Secrets: a Brother's Best Friend Rock Star Romance
Tilly Steele
REMI
I've had exactly one secret my entire life.
Dean Simon.
Specifically: that I've been in love with him since before I knew what love actually was. He's been my brother's best friend, my confidant, the guy who kept every embarrassing thing I ever told him locked up tight and never once used it against me.
And I've never told him. Not once. Not even the night he was up on that stage and it felt like he was singing straight to me, until Sasha Graham threw herself into his lap and reminded me exactly where I stood.
So I did what any self-respecting girl with a shattered heart and a need to start over would do.
I moved to Nashville.
Fast forward a few years, I did not expect my very first solo assignment at Amaryllis Records to be managing the social media presence of Dean Simon. My secret. My brother's best friend. The guy I've spent years convincing myself I was completely over.
He's a rising star with a packed tour schedule and a reputation for being difficult. I'm the girl who knows every single thing about him, including the fact that I am absolutely, completely, one hundred percent not over him.
DEAN
There are exactly two things I've kept to myself my entire career.
The first is that my muse has a name. And that name is Remi James.
The second is that I've been in love with my best friend's sister since the moment I was old enough to understand what that meant—and I've spent years doing the right thing, keeping my mouth shut about it.
She thinks she's here to manage my press. Keep my socials clean, my image polished and my name in the right headlines.
She has no idea she's the reason I write songs.
Now she's backstage at every show, in my space every single day, acting like we're just colleagues—like I don't notice every single thing about her—and I'm supposed to smile for the cameras while pretending I don't want to blow up every professional boundary between us.
I've kept this secret for years.
But I'm not sure I can keep it much longer.
