The One

As long as I could remember I'd tried to leave the country roads behind. There was only one reason I wasn't falling apart when life pulled me from college in Chicago and stuck me back in the pit of hell called Alabama. Zach. He was my best friend and I'd loved him that way for as long as I could remember. We grew up climbing trees, skinny dipping in the lake, and in our teenage years stealing moonshine from his daddy's cabinet. One stupid mistake changed everything.

John Miles was educated, refined, and about as far from a country boy as a person could be. Selling off real estate from his grandfather's will, he came to Alabama from New York. John's idea of entertainment was Broadway musicals and wine tastings. He was the type of man I'd always dreamed of settling down with. There was only one problem, Zach admitted he wanted more than just friendship.

Two men as different as they could be had won my heart. One would keep me tied up in the boonies for the rest of my life and the other offered me the escape I longed for. My best friend or a man who swept me off my feet with just a look in his eyes. I never knew it would cost my soul to choose 'The One'.
