I've crushed on my brother's best friend since I was twelve. He never gave me a second glance until I was dared to kiss him.

The following summer, we drunkenly hooked up at my brother's wedding. Finding out he had no memory of our night together made it my dirty little secret.

I spent years avoiding him, but then he shows up at my goat farm needing a job and place to live after his fiancée calls off their engagement. Reluctantly, I agree to give him a chance.

But that doesn't mean I have to make it easy on him.

Keeping things strictly platonic between us, I suggest he date again to get over his ex. When he needs a plus-one, I offer to be his wing woman.

After a night of drinking, I stupidly confess the reasons guys keep breaking up with me and he offers to help me instead.

Lines blur when "just roommates" turn into roommates with benefits, but I'm still determined not to let him break my heart a second time.

Even if it seems inevitable.
