Cross Your Heart

Becca Hartford is not having her best year. She's unemployed, her trailer leaks, her ex won't take no for an answer, and her anonymous small town podcast just became a liability-because she saw something she wasn't supposed to while recording, and someone figured out it was her.

The last thing she needs is Levi Barrett back in her life. He was her childhood best friend, secret crush, and now, courtesy of her overprotective cop brother, her unofficial bodyguard

Oh yeah, and he may or may not remember he proposed to her.

Levi has been patient. He's been careful. He's spent fifteen years being exactly the kind of friend Becca needed while quietly wanting so much more. The proposal was a whiskey-fueled accident, but the feelings behind it were real. Now that her ex is finally out of the picture, he's running out of reasons to keep pretending he doesn't want her back in his life.

There's just one problem. Becca has convinced herself that a woman whose life is held together with duct tape and good intentions isn't the kind of woman Levi really needs. No matter how many times he shows up, no matter how steady and sure he is, and no matter how clearly he proves her wrong.
