Just Between Us by Jenny Cross

Cassie James came to Singing River with two things in mind: forget her cheating ex and discover who she is again. What she didn’t plan for was running into a handsome stranger at the local bar—a flirty stranger with tattoos and poetic tendencies.

Liam Davis has shadows—ones he’s buried beneath wit and charm. He masks them well, or so he thinks, occupying his time with four things: his dog, music, his bar, and whatever helps him forget.
But Cassie James sees through his facade. They might have agreed to friendship, but Liam’s finding the walls around his heart don’t stand up to a woman like her.
Then there’s the bucket list they agree to complete . . . together.
With each item checked off, the line between friendship and more is harder to find. He’s the person she didn’t know she needed, and she’s the one he’s terrified to want.
Now Liam has to decide—let her in and risk losing everything again, or walk away from the only person in two years who’s made him want to try.

Just Between Us is a friends-to-lovers, emotional love story between a broken man and the woman who truly sees him.
