Don’t Tell My Brother — Paperback

Description

📖 Paperback Edition — She came home to start over. She didn’t expect her brother’s best friend to be sleeping down the hall.

Katie Miller is twenty-nine, recently single, recently unemployed, and moving back into her parents’ farmhouse in Ridgewood, New York. It’s not a crisis—it’s a reset. At least that’s what she keeps telling everyone.

Lauren Davis is thirty-eight, her brother’s best friend, and the woman Katie has been hopelessly, secretly attracted to since she was twenty-one. She’s also living in the guest room—twenty feet down the hall—while renovating a barn into a wedding venue.

When Katie signs on to help with the renovation, what starts as a practical arrangement becomes something neither of them can control. Late nights in the barn, accidental touches, and one devastating moment on the lake unravel their careful distance.

But Lauren has spent a decade drawing lines she doesn’t cross. Katie is Matt’s little sister. Matt is Lauren’s best friend. And the closer they get, the more they risk—not just their secret, but the family that holds them together.
