Friends become lovers when they are reunited in New York City in this African American romance from a New York Timesโbestselling author.
Bestselling author Francis Ray celebrates the lifelong bonds between the Grayson family and their friendsโwith a heartwarming love story years in the making . . .
Dianna Harrington is known throughout the world as โThe Faceโ โthe stunningly beautiful spokesmodel for her familyโs fashion empire. She could probably have her pick of any man she wants. But Dianna would rather kick back and relax with a good friendโnamely Alex Stewart, who sheโs known, and harbored a crush on, her whole life . . .
Ever since they were kids, Alex has been Diannaโs protector and pal, a shoulder to cry on. But as the brother of her best friend, Alex always seemed untouchable. Now a successful New York lawyer, Alex never realized how lonely Diannaโs life has beenโor how innocent she is in the ways of love. Alex wants more than anything to heal her heart. But is his desire worth the risk? After a lifetime of longing, somethingโs gotta give. Maybe all it takes is just one kiss . . .
