Waiting for You

They say friends make the best lovers...

After a bitter divorce, Jackson Norwood never thought he'd fall in love again. Especially not with his best friend, Essence Priestly. His attraction to her is the most powerful thing he's felt in a long time, and he doesn't just want her as a lover. He wants her to be his wife. Yet she's determined to keep their relationship strictly platonic.

Jackson means everything to Essence and her son, and she's torn between her love for him and the fear of ruining their years of friendship. But after an impulsive, passionate weekend together, she can't deny their chemistry is off the charts. Jackson woke up the part of her she thought died years ago, and Essence is tempted to let him have what he wants—her.

But drama from his ex-wife is enough to challenge the strongest connection. Will Essence and Jackson's reinvented relationship buckle under the pressure? Or will their bond grow stronger and lead them to their happily-ever-after?
