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

“Do you have to flirt to do your job?”


Kace widened his eyes. “We’re just playing. Angel and I would never…” He waved a hand and focused on a new customer. The man wanted a Daiquiri, and the lime was over at the other end of the bar.


Kayla brushed up next to him. “Who’s the Grinch?” She shielded her hands and pointed at Luke.


“That’sLuke?” She widened her eyes. “I’d always pictured you with someone more easy-going. You’re so…solid and calm, you need someone who doesn’t growl at people, someone social who spices things up a little.”


“No, not boring, but…safe.” She sighed. “It sounds boring, but it’s not what I mean. I mean, you’re calm and down to earth, and do what’s expected of you.”


“You’re not making me sound any more exciting, Kayla.” He grimaced, and she laughed.


“I’d marry you any day of the week.”
