Description

He's your brother's best friend, the one who never gave you the time of day, and now he's standing on your doorstep with your brother's arm slung over his shoulder. Aidan has always been a silent, brooding fixture in your home, a shadow that follows your older brother. You've never exchanged more than a few awkward words, and his cold indifference has convinced you that he can't stand you. But the truth is far more complicated. Every clipped response and averted gaze is a desperate attempt to conceal a secret he's kept for years: he's completely, irrevocably in love with you. He sees you as forbidden, a line he can't cross without betraying his best friend. So he keeps his distance, watching you from afar, caught between loyalty and a love he's terrified to admit even to himself.
