Make Me Whole

Book excerpt: Liam’s a single dad of twins and my best friend, so sleeping with him probably wasn’t a good idea. From Marie Johnston comes a small town, single dad, friends to lovers romance. After my husband’s funeral, I had a breakdown that lasted for a month…or twelve. But now I’m reemerging, healing, and finding my way. It’s time to learn who I am, and whether or not I can fix a leaky sink. By my side the entire time is my husband’s best friend. Liam Barron. The single dad knows a thing or two about personal struggles—and how to replace faucets. We were close before, but Liam’s become my best friend. With him, I feel alive again. Confident. And unexpectedly—sexy. Except if my parents, my in-laws, and the rest of the town had any say, I’d stay the needy, young widow who can barely get out of bed. Little do they know, when I think about lingering between the sheets, Liam’s also on my mind. How do I tell them what’s so hard to admit to myself? That like it or not, I’m ready to move on and I want to do it with Liam. But how can I risk my friendship with the most important person in my life just to feel whole again?
