My Brother's Best Friend

She has been drawing him in secret since she was fifteen. He has loved her since before he let himself know it.

Lily Bennett is the quiet one - the artist, the baby, the sweet one who everyone loves and no one quite sees. While her siblings have come home and fallen in love and built loud beautiful lives, Lily has stayed in Juniper Bay painting the harbor, selling the odd piece to tourists, and hiding the sketchbook she has filled with portraits of Finn Gallagher for the last twelve years. Her brother's best friend. Off limits. Completely, absolutely, impossibly off limits.

Finn came home after eight years at sea with everything he owned in one bag and no idea if he was allowed to. He'd wandered the whole world looking for somewhere to belong, and there had only ever been one answer: the Bennetts. Jack's family. Rose's kitchen. Juniper Bay. And Lily - always Lily, the quiet one with the seeing eyes, the one he had never let himself think about, because she was Jack's little sister and some things you don't do if you want to keep the only home you've ever had.

But he's home now. And Lily is twenty-six, and a real artist, and the most extraordinary person Finn has ever known. And the thing they've both been not-saying for twelve years is running out of space to hide in.

A slow-burn, brother's best friend romance about being seen for the first time, the courage it takes to reach for the real thing, and the family you become when everyone finally stops keeping secrets. My Brother's Best Friend is the fourth book in the Juniper Bay series, but can be read on its own.

Perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Talia Hibbert, and anyone who loves a forbidden romance with genuine heart.

She'd been drawing him for twelve years. He'd been watching her for just as long. They were both, it turned out, terrible at keeping secrets.
