Cross Checked Hearts

Logan has always kept a tight lid on his emotions, especially when it comes to his best friend’s little sister. It’s been two long years since he left for the military, but no amount of distance could erase the connection he feels with Emma. She’s not just the girl next door—she’s the girl teetering on the edge of his heart, and now he’s back to face the music.

Emma has grown into a fierce, independent woman, and Logan can’t help but admire her even more. What started as innocent childhood crushes has morphed into something deeper, something that might be too complicated to handle. As they navigate the treacherous waters between friendship and romance, Logan must decide if he’s brave enough to claim his heart's desire or if he’ll keep their bond locked away as just another secret.
