Everyone Knows We're More than Friends
(2026)(The third book in the Sweet Willow Harbor romances series)
A novel by Josie Frost
I've been secretly in love with my best friend for years.
Unfortunately, the entire town seems to have figured it out before he did.
Willow Harbor seems convinced Ben Carter and I belong together.
Maybe it's because we practically raise a rescue dog together.
Maybe it's because he's the first person I call when something goes wrong.
Or maybe it's because Ben has spent years showing up for me in ways that look suspiciously like love.
Not that he'd ever mean it that way.
That's what I keep telling myself.
As a volunteer firefighter and the town's favorite handyman, Ben is everybody's hero. To me, he's something more dangerous: home.
I've spent years pretending friendship is enough.
Then one summer of town festivals, late-night bakery cleanups, and far too many almost-kisses makes it impossible to ignore the truth.
The problem isn't that I'm falling for Ben.
I've loved him all along.
But if Ben doesn't want more, I may lose the friendship that means everything to me.
I must decide whether protecting my heart is worth giving up my chance at forever.
Falling for Ben isn't the risk. Telling him the truth might be.
A Sweet Small-Town Friends-to-Lovers Romance featuring a firefighter hero, a bakery owner heroine, a lovable rescue dog, and a town full of busybodies who are tired of waiting for their favorite almost-couple to figure it out
