He was the one person they was never supposed to fall for.
Your brother’s best friend has always been off-limits. Malachi “Mell” Reed made that rule perfectly clear the moment he realized Cassian Callaway—the band’s charming, reckless frontman and his best friend—had started looking at his sibling differently. Cassian has a reputation for being a womanizer. He doesn’t do commitment, doesn’t take relationships seriously, and never sticks around long enough for anyone to get too close. So when Mell catches him staring at his sibling one night, he immediately lays down one rule: Don’t touch Guest Cassian agrees. At least, that’s what he says. Because the truth is, Cassian has wanted them for far longer than he’s willing to admit. Every meaningless relationship, every late-night distraction, every person he’s tried to convince himself he could want has only been another way of avoiding the truth. They’re the one person he can’t have. The one person he can’t stop thinking about. And the one person his best friend would never forgive him for falling for. Between band rehearsals, late-night drives, crowded shows, stolen glances, and a growing attraction neither of them can ignore, staying away becomes harder with every passing day. Mell thinks he’s protecting his sibling from heartbreak. Cassian knows he’s fighting a losing battle. And eventually, someone is going to have to break the rules. Because sometimes the person you’re forbidden from loving is the person you’ve been looking for all along.
