Sadie and the boy that was always there - PRE-ORDER - Signed Paperback

Sadie and the boy who was always there

He’s her best friend’s brother. Off-limits. Unavailable. And exactly where she feels most at home.

Sadie West knows the rules.

Don’t fall for your best friend’s brother.

Don’t blur the lines.

And definitely don’t start noticing the way he watches you when he thinks you’re not looking. But living with lupus means her life doesn’t always follow the rules. There are days she can’t get out of bed. Nights when the pain doesn’t let up. And moments where vulnerability threatens to swallow her whole.

Then there’s Asher Carter—quiet heat and steady hands. Protective, impossibly patient… and completely off-limits.

Late nights. Lingering touches. Tension thick enough to steal her breath. What started as friendship has twisted into something far more—something she can’t keep pretending isn’t real.

Because it’s not just the stolen moments or the way his voice drops when he says her name.

It’s the way he makes her feel safe. Seen. Like her illness doesn’t make her too much—it just makes her unique.

A slow-burn, best friend’s brother romance full of heat, heart, and the kind of intimacy that builds between shared beds, soft silences, and hands that never let go.
