It’s Only Ever Been You by LS Phoenix

Best friends since childhood, Ethan and Emma have shared everything—secrets, dreams, and unshakable loyalty. But as they grow older, the lines between friendship and something more blur, leaving them both hesitant to risk the bond they hold so dear.
When an unexpected kiss at a party changes everything, they’re forced to confront feelings they’ve long buried. But the path to love is anything but smooth. Misunderstandings, heartbreak, and life-changing decisions threaten to pull them apart just as they begin to realize they might be each other’s forever.
From the innocence of first crushes to the fiery passion of adulthood, this is a story of slow-burning love, heartbreak, and the unyielding strength it takes to fight for what matters most. Will Ethan and Emma find the courage to take a leap of faith, or will their fears keep them from the love they were always meant to have?
