Cross Your Heart
★★★★★
”Levi Barrett was EVERYTHING. Protective, patient, dependable, and secretly so gone for Becca that it hurt in the best way possible. The way he cared for her so quietly over the years absolutely wrecked me. And Becca? I loved her so much. Watching her try to rebuild her life after losing her job and ending things with Travis felt so real and emotional.”
-Monzerrad, Goodreads Review
He got drunk, dropped to one knee in a parking lot, and proposed.
She put him to bed and never said a word about it.
Becca Hartford is not having her best year. She's unemployed, her trailer leaks, her ex won't take no for an answer, and her anonymous small town podcast just became a liability—because she saw something she wasn't supposed to while recording, and someone figured out it was her.
The last thing she needs is Levi Barrett back in her life. He was her childhood best friend, secret crush, and now, courtesy of her overprotective cop brother, her unofficial bodyguard
Oh yeah, and he may or may not remember he proposed to her.
Levi has been patient. He's been careful. He's spent fifteen years being exactly the kind of friend Becca needed while quietly wanting so much more. The proposal was a whiskey-fueled accident, but the feelings behind it were real. Now that her ex is finally out of the picture, he's running out of reasons to keep pretending he doesn't want her back in his life.
There's just one problem. Becca has convinced herself that a woman whose life is held together with duct tape and good intentions isn't the kind of woman Levi really needs. No matter how many times he shows up, no matter how steady and sure he is, and no matter how clearly he proves her wrong.
Cross Your Heart is a cozy, warm, and utterly romantic story about two kids who promised to be best friends forever—and are finally, stubbornly, finding their way back to something even better.
