The Trouble with Forever by Kali Hart

Everleigh
I’m falling for my best friend’s brother, and it’s a problem.
Huge problem, actually.
Because Wyatt has been my go-to person for everything since I slunk back into my hometown a year ago with my tail tucked between my legs. Flat tire? Something goes bump in the night? Ice cream emergency? He’s the one I call.
But ever since that night he carried me into my apartment and took care of me after an evening of binge drinking with my bestie a few weeks ago, I’m starting to feel things I shouldn’t.
I refuse to let this little crush get out of hand. I’m too broken to let anyone in.
But the harder I fight my feelings for the unfairly sexy sheriff, the stronger they seem to grow.

Wyatt
I’ve been in love with Everleigh for months. She’s not just my sister’s best friend—she’s become mine, too.
But I’ve been a cop long enough to know when someone’s running from something. She’s been closed off ever since that night she returned to Emerald Creek soaked in tears.
Which is why I haven’t told her how I feel. I won’t risk losing her.
But when a runaway alpaca shows up at her door and gives us a reason to work together, everything changes between us.
Her flirting no longer feels innocent. The way she reacts to my touch makes me certain she feels this pull too—she’s just scared.
Even if it costs me everything, I’m done pretending we’re just friends.
