Best Friends

Lonny Reed and Samantha Janek became best friends in college. She was a chubby, insecure scholarship student who harbored a secret crush on him, but he loved her only as the closest, most trustworthy friend he’d ever had—a buddy who’d offer a sympathetic ear as he fell in and out of love with breathtaking frequency. Although she adored Lonny, Sammy knew that his lovers were always temporary. Friendship was forever, and she wanted forever with him.

Still best friends years after college, Lonny invites Sammy to stay with him at his fixer-upper beach house while she recuperates from being dumped by her longtime boyfriend. He’ll introduce her to friends, set her up on blind dates, get her back on her feet. The only problem is, she’s no longer a chubby, insecure scholarship student. She’s smart, accomplished and beautiful. And all of a sudden, Lonny wants to be more than friends.

With Lonny, lovers don’t last. Samantha knows that becoming his lover means risking the loss of his friendship. Can they be friends—and lovers—forever?
