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

“But she thinks we’vebeen having an affair.”


Luke sighed. “Right from the start, she was jealous of you—” Kace huffed, but Luke kept on talking. “—I guess she noticed something. In the beginning, she didn’t want us to hang out, then she got more and more annoyed every time I saw you. When you dropped by—” Luke rolled his eyes. “I tried to be what she wanted, but I couldn’t keep living like that, Kace. I loved Stacy, in the beginning, I really did, but I have to have you in my life or I’m…not complete.” He flattened his hand over his chest.


“Who cares what she thinks?” Luke threw his hands in the air.


“I do. I don’t want people to think I’m sleeping around with married men.”


Kace blinked. He’d been sure the word following we’re not would be sleeping together. “Luke!”


“No, don’t be so fucking blasé. I don’t want to be dragged into your shit!”
