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

“Yes! I want to show it to you.” The way he beamed had butterflies tearing free in Kace’s chest.


They headed for the car again, Kace’s stomach grumbling, and he kept looking at the clock. “Drive-through?” He wasn’t in the mood for fast food, but they didn’t have time to stop at a better restaurant.


“Sure.” Luke was grinning at him, more relaxed in the passenger seat than Kace had seen him in a long time.


“You feeling good?” He returned the grin, heat coursing in his veins. It was a bad idea to react to Luke the way he did, but he couldn’t help it.


The drive was both great and not. Kace was aware of Luke’s every move—every smile filled him with warmth, every laugh left him tingling.


When they finally got to the cabin, Kace blew out a sigh of relief. He needed to move.
