Cassius Britton, the mouthy basketball player for the Minnesota Eagles, is my soul mate. He has been since he shared his gummy bears and let me have all the red ones.
Because thatโs the kind of person he isโselfless and sweet. But heโs so much more than that. Heโs the man who rescued me from my homophobic parents. Heโs the man who brought me and my sister into his family home and wrapped us in love and sunshine.
All of that, and so much more, makes us soul matesโwhich doesnโt mean heโs meant to be mine.
And when I become a dad and have to balance being a cop in our small town while dealing with grief, of course he steps up, because thatโs who Cassius is.
But when I need to get married, when I need a man to step up and be by my side, maybe Cassius is too close. Too much of a risk.
Because how can I possibly marry my best friend and not start to fall, especially when the secrets between us are so explosive, theyโll either burn us to the ground or set our hearts free forever?
