Rosen has always fought his feelings for Kayani, especially after accidentally sharing a kiss with her in high school, and has done everything not to break their pact to stay friends. But when she vents to him about her horrible Valentines, Rosen is determined to show her the true love she deserves and show her roses are red this year and every year.

Oh Rosen!

Whew, Kayani worked my nerves! I mean, GIRL what more did Rosen need to do for you to get a clue! Rosen, ohhhh Rosen… what a thoughtful and intentional friend (MAN). It had always been Kayani for him… although he too was hesitant to make it known, I don’t blame him since at every turn he was getting shut down! I was glad Kayani came to her senses. This was such a warming friends to lovers read! We all need a Rosen!
