Into the Tide (Cottonwood Cove, #1)

by Laura Pavlov

I didn’t know when Lila James grew into the sexiest woman I’d ever seen, but she had. And that did not sit well with me. She was Travis’s little sister for starters. Completely off limits.

Me and Drew

Drew and I

Because she was my girl, wasn’t she? Maybe I couldn’t have her, but she was mine.

It was a repeated clarity that I experienced day after day with this woman. My heart no longer belonged to me. It was hers. No one else would ever have it—that I was certain of.

#13. Tell Hugh Reynolds that I love him. Not a friendship kind of love. That I-can’t-live-without-you, people-write-poetry-about kind of love. The real deal.

He kissed me like it was the first time. He kissed me like it was the last time. He kissed me like it was forever.
