The Secrets We Keep

Silas is the one guy who was, is, and will always be off-limits. Or is he? I broke the cardinal rule of being a best friend. I fell for my best friend's older brother. Silas was four grades older, but that didn't stop me from longing for him from a distance, sneaking glances at him from the shadows and daydreaming about being seen as more than a kid. When he went away to college, I tried to put him out of my mind once and for all. I was doing fine, but now he's back. This time is different. We're adults, so the rules don't apply anymore...right? Unfortunately, he's my boss and a whole new kind of forbidden, but I can't keep my eyes off him as the old emotions rekindle. And I can't help wondering, what if? I've been away for too long, but it is time to come home, and my first order of business is to take over the old veterinary clinic. Monika is my kid sister's best friend. The annoying little girl who used to spend all her free time at my house. As it turns out, I'm her new boss. She seems to think I don't remember her, but I do, and she's all grown up and irresistible. The attraction is instant, but she's my employee and still my sister's best friend, so things must stay professional. But, keeping our relationship strictly professional proves difficult when we rescue a kitten and decide to foster him together.
