She was his best friend.
But in the back of Jason’s mind, lying in wait all these years, was curiosity. What would it be like between them?

Dear Reader,
When I set out to write a friends-to-lovers book I had no idea of the challenges involved in helping best friends since first grade find their forever love.
Jason and Ming have been there for each other through every challenge and success.
They bring out the best in each other. Or they did until romance entered the picture.Deciding to take a chance on love is not always easy, and it’s even worse for Ming and Jason because they risk losing their best friend if the relationship goes wrong. I hope you enjoy their journey from friends to forever.
All the best!
