Description：
Chloe Carter has terrible luck in love, a failing sense of dignity, and one very inconvenient secret: she has been in love with her childhood best friend for years. Unfortunately, Ethan Hayes is the kind of man who ruins everyone else for her—handsome, capable, annoyingly composed, and entirely too good at acting like he has no idea what she's doing.
After a disastrous wedding, a cursed haircut, too much alcohol, and one flooded apartment, Chloe ends up living under Ethan's roof. What starts as survival quickly turns dangerous. Shared dinners turn intimate. Casual teasing turns charged. And every time Chloe decides to test the line between friendship and something far more reckless, Ethan doesn't stop her—he watches, waits, and lets her get closer.
But Chloe has spent too long hiding behind jokes, old misunderstandings, and rumors about the women in Ethan's past. With a handsome younger guy suddenly showing interest and her feelings getting harder to bury, she has to decide whether to keep pretending they're "just friends"… or finally risk the one relationship she can't afford to lose.
Because if Chloe misreads Ethan now, she won't just lose her shot at love. She might lose the person who has always felt like home. And when two people have been circling each other for years, someone has to make the first real move—right?
