Lukas by Tarin Lex

Lukas:
I’m long-past tired of standing by, watching my buddy Linnea get all spun-up over some dude who doesn’t even realize what he’s got.
Beautiful, smart, caring Linnea…
She’s perfect.
When Linney asks me to put together another fire-safety presentation for her kindergarten class, I know it’s because the newest jerkoff trampled her heart.
I’ll gladly put his face in the dirt if he hurts her again.
No, scratch that. This time, I’ll make that girl mine once and for all.

Linnea:
We’ve been friends for 13 years. He’s always there for me when I need support.
Forget that he also looks super fine in his firefighter uniform.
I don’t think of Lukas that way.
Or I try not to…
I have horrible luck with men and would do anything to preserve our friendship. Besides, Lukas doesn’t believe in love.
Until one night, he proves once more how much I mean to him. We get our wires tangled up in a very good way and a new kind of spark ignites.
Friends first. Soul mates…forever?
