Friends with Number Ten

Now there’s no going back.

Ryan Eisher has been my best friend for years, and the only constant in a life I’ve had to fight to rebuild.

As a single mom and cancer survivor, I don’t take risks. Not with my heart. Not with my son’s.

So when one reckless decision changes everything, we make a deal—no strings, no expectations, definitely no falling in love.

But Ryan has never treated me like I’m temporary. He’s always looked at me like I’m everything.

I’ve spent years believing I’m not meant to be someone’s forever.

Now the more he refuses to walk away…

The harder it is to keep pretending I can.
