Once upon a time Tucker and I were inseparable. We grew up next door to each other and he was almost like a brother to me. My closest friend. But as we got older things started to change. Secretly I loved his cocky grin and the way his blue eyes would lock on mine. I was resigned to lusting after him from afar until one day he kissed me-only to reject me the very next day. </span></p><p><br></p><p>Since then I've tried to keep as much distance between Tucker and I as possible. When we do cross paths which is more often than I'd like seeing as our parents are best friends that man still knows <em>exactly</em> how to get under my skin. </p><p><br></p><p>Then one night Tucker corners me on a date and demands to know who the guy is. I tell him it's just a fling not that it's any of his business.

We have a list of rules-no sleeping over no cuddling and definitely no falling in love. But before long it's taking everything in me not to break every single one.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Catching feelings for Tucker Collins is a very bad idea. There are a million reasons why I should walk away. </span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>But it's hard to leave when I'm having so much fun.
