Hard Burn

Scotia Storms #12

by Cathryn Fox

He was my brother’s best friend – my teenage crush. Until one night—one beautiful mistake—changed it all. He took off to play college ball for Michigan, and my brother and I never set eyes on him again.

Now, three years later, I’m in Houston for a romance writing conference. He’s at the same hotel for the MLB playoffs. That’s when our past catches up with us, and the real games begin.

This time, I plan to fix past mistakes and rewrite our ending.

All is well until he discovers a secret that sends my plot in a new direction, one where happily ever after just might not exist.

This may have been a short story, but it packed a lot of emotion! These two overflow with feelings for each other, and time and distance didn’t change that. The fact they belong together is so clear, that it is beautiful moment when they finally realize it <3
