Slow and Steady

Everett McBride can’t remember a time when he didn’t love Paige Parsons. She’s been his best friend nearly all his life, and there isn’t anything he won’t do for her—even marry her out of convenience.

Paige doesn’t know what she did to deserve having someone like Everett in her life. When he offers to fulfill Paige’s mom’s dying wish, Paige can’t help but feel guilty. Everett is putting his life on hold for a woman who doesn’t reciprocate his romantic feelings.

But Everett is insistent, and the pair start their new life together in their coastal Massachusetts hometown. That’s when it all starts to change.

The more she’s around him, the more Paige notices the little things about Everett. And her affection for him grows.

It’s a slow and steady burn until Paige finally falls for her husband.

The problem is that she might’ve realized it too late.
