I Could Never

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a new forbidden, enemies-to-lovers story It all started with an unexpected phone call. Two years after my fianc passed away in an accident, his father died suddenly, leaving Brads adult, special-needs brother with no one to care for him. The next thing I knew, I was on a cross-country drive to New Hampshire where Id be moving in to look after Scottie until I could get him into a group home. The last thing I ever expected? I wouldnt be taking care of him alone. Josh Mathers, my fiancs best friendwho also happened to be my sworn enemyinsisted he was the better person for the job. He told me to go back to California, and I told him where he could stick that demand. Our disdain for each other wasnt anything new. It dated back to a text Id accidentally read years ago. We hated each other. But we both loved Scottie, so neither of us budged. Now we were living together in a tiny housewith one available bedroom. Thank goodness it was only temporary. Over time, I realized the broody jerk I thought I knew was different than Id imagined. I found myself slowly growing attached to someone I once considered the enemyand growing attracted to him. Sure, both of us were guilt-ridden over Brad. We were also two grown people with pent-up frustration toward one anotherstuck in a cabin in the woods. But this was Josh. I could never.
