I’m in love with my brother’s best friend.

 

It’s cliché, I know, but Matthew Ellis is the epitome of the perfect book boyfriend. I never stood a chance.

 

Of course, he has no idea I’ve been in love with him since I was a teenager. So, when I decided to randomly show up on his doorstep on a Friday night… Let’s just say, it wasn’t my smartest move.

 

In my defense, I wasn’t in my right mind. I’d just found out someone was stalking me in the most horrific way, and I didn’t have anywhere else to go.

 

I tried my hardest to keep my feelings a secret, but there was no way I could be in close proximity to my childhood crush and not flirt a little. What I wasn’t prepared for was Matthew flirting in return. There was no holding back after that.

 

There were just two problems to our happily ever after: my overly protective brother who would not be happy we lied to him and my stalker who was hell-bent on making me his, no matter what.
