Kace Channing has been best friends with Luke Holland for thirty-five years. He can’t imagine his world without him. But over the last twelve months, they’ve hardly seen one another. And life without Luke seems empty. When Luke shows up on Kace’s doorstep, asking for a place to stay, Kace is happy to say yes. But he isn’t prepared for the kiss that follows, or ready to admit he could kiss Luke forever. What they already have is too important. And when Luke, the least outdoorsy person Kace knows, tells him he's buying a cabin in the woods, Kace tries to talk him out of it. But Luke’s made up his mind. He says they need it, the two of them. But won’t kisses and cabins ruin their friendship?

Kisses and Cabins

“I do! I’m gonna prove it to you.”


“Sure, sure…” A lightness filled Kace’s chest. He wished they could be like this forever—laughing. Together


Luke’s phone rang. He grabbed it and walked out the door. Kace suspected it was Stacy and went to take over the cooking. Judging by what Lukas had put on the counter, he guessed he’d been about to make scrambled eggs.


A few minutes later, Lukas came back in again. “It was the estate agent, she had to postpone.”


“Yeah, gives you time to pull out of the deal and patch things up with Stacy.” His words formed a knot in his belly.


Luke stared at him. “I’m buying the cabin.”


We? He and Stacy?“Luke, think this through.”


“I already have. I’m gonna prove to you that I’ve changed.”


“Changed? Why do you need to change?” Kace didn’t want him to change. He wanted Luke to be like he’d always been.
