Chasing You by E.M. Lindsey

“Playing house-husband to my best friend isn’t weird, right? Even though I’m head over heels in love with him and he doesn’t have feelings for me?”

Adele is a caretaker. Always has been, always will be. So when his lifelong best friend comes home after losing his job to a nervous breakdown and chronic illness, Adele steps in. And it’s easy enough, except for the fact that Adele has been in love with Kash for most of his life.
He’d moved on once, with a wife and kid, but all that fell apart, and now Kash is back in his life and needs him more than ever. Adele isn’t quite sure how to protect his heart while also giving his best friend what he needs, but the one thing he does know is that he won’t let Kash down.
Not now. Not ever.
Things seem a little different between them now, though. Kash is angrier, bitter, more closed off. Adele thinks it’s something he’s done, but maybe it’s not that. Maybe it’s feelings Kash is too afraid to say out loud.
Whatever the case, Adele knows he’ll protect those he loves with as much fire as the ones he puts out, and Kash is no exception to that rule. And he never will be.

Chasing You is a best friends to lovers romance, and the fifth book of the single dad series Words We Never Said. It features hurt/comfort, blanket forts, unrequited love, bad poetry, a firefighter calendar, and the steamiest, hottest happily ever after.
