Roped

It started as a favor. 

I would do anything for my best friend and that’s how I got roped into being her brothers date to a wedding. I told her yes, but deep down I know that it’s a terrible idea.

See, the thing is that I’ve been in love with Clara’s brother, Kai, for my entire life. I know that I can’t have him though. Not only is he older than me, but I would never do anything to jeopardize my friendship with Clara.

Then the wedding gets canceled, which wouldn’t be a big deal if Kai and I hadn’t already gotten off the last ferry of the day.

Now the two of us are stranded on an island just off the California coast with no cell service and no way home. Not until tomorrow morning anyway.

I haven’t given into my feelings for Kai for years. I can make it another twenty-four hours, right?

Turns out that being stranded and his sister’s best friend isn’t the biggest obstacle to our relationship.

When I find out what Kai did, will I ever be able to forgive him?
