The Brother’s Best Friend Who Never Let Her Go: A Small-Town Forbidden Love Romance (Maplewood Hearts #25)
Yash Shetty
And the one he never truly let go.
Sophie Bennett has spent years pretending she’s over Ryan Cole—her brother’s best friend, the man who was always too close, too forbidden, and too impossible to forget.
But when Ryan returns to Maplewood, older, quieter, and harder to ignore than ever, Sophie realizes the feelings she buried long ago never really left.
Ryan has spent years keeping his distance for one reason—her.
Because wanting Sophie was never simple.
Not when she was Mason’s little sister.
Not when one wrong move could cost him everything.
Not when staying away felt safer than falling for her.
But when old feelings finally come to light, one stolen kiss changes everything.
Now, they’re forced to face the truth they’ve both been running from—
some love stories don’t fade… they wait.
In a town where secrets never stay hidden for long, Sophie and Ryan must decide if love is worth the risk… even when it means choosing between family, friendship, and the one person they were never supposed to love.
