Just One Tent by Jaqueline Snowe

All’s fire in love and camping…
Maddie is dreading her family’s holiday camping trip. A well-known flirt and borderline commitment-phobe, she’s never quite warmed to her stepmother’s attempts at finding her a perfect match. But this trip will be different. This time, she’s dragging along her best friend of fifteen years – Matt.
Matt’s been in love Maddie since they were kids, and despite numerous attempts at confessing, she has no idea. He’s a hopeless romantic at heart and a pushover when it comes to helping his friends. So, when Maddie begs him to camp with her for a weekend, it’s a simple yes.
They have no idea they’ll be stuck sharing a small tent. That small tent leads to cuddling, which turns to steamy nights. Each one afraid of breaking the spell, they don’t think about what happens after the trip is over. They just enjoy the newfound chemistry. But Maddie refuses to ruin their friendship, and Matt won’t stick around forever. So, when the sun comes up on their weekend, someone will have to take the leap if they have any chance of making it work.
