MADDOX

There’s nothing that can tear my best friend and me apart.
We have a brotherly bond that no chick will ever be able to come between.

But everything changes the night I meet her—Adelyn Pierce.
She’s like a whirlwind, and I can’t stop thinking about her.

I have to make her mine.

The next day, I’m happy to hear from Rick that he’s met someone as well.
After all, what is better than both my best friend and I finding a new honey to crush on?

But when Rick and I talk about our encounters, there’s something that sounds oddly familiar about his new friend.
The moment Rick introduces me to his friend, I’m stunned to see Adelyn—she’s the same girl I’ve been into.

I don’t know what I’m going to do now.

ADELYN

The night of Tommy’s party, I met two wonderful guys…
One, Rick, is sweet, caring, and I can see a great friend in him.
The other, Maddox, is intense, and I want more with him.

But I’m torn.

When I discover that the guy I want as a friend is interested in taking our friendship to the next level, I don’t know what to do.

The situation becomes even more complicated when I realize that Rick’s best friend in the entire world is Maddox—the guy who’s been consuming my thoughts.
My heart feels torn between friendship and something deeper, and I have no idea how I’m going to get myself out of this one.
