"One step. That’s all it would take to close the distance between us and take you into my arms, into that bed. But then there’s no going back." After their parents got married, Drake and Emily became the best of friends. They shared everything - their secrets, their hopes, their dreams for the future. The one thing Emily couldn’t share with Drake was the truth about her growing attraction to him. She always thought there would be more time. But then their world came crashing down around them, and Drake vanished… leaving Emily alone to pick up the pieces of their broken home. Five years later, Emily is struggling to pay her law school tuition, and lands a coveted job as a summer associate at a high-powered law firm. With a promising career ahead of her, she’s finally ready to forget about the boy she grew up with and move on with her life. So when Drake suddenly shows up and reignites her feelings for him, will she be able to resist the hold he still has over her heart? Or will she risk everything for a forbidden romance with man she’s loved for so long?
