      There wasn’t much space between them. A meter... maybe a little less.

      Mila still held his gaze. He wished hers was unreadable, but it wasn’t—not any more. He was sure his wasn’t either.

      All he had to do was reach for her...

      And that would be it.

      And it would change everything.

      Their friendship—the friendship that was so important to him, that he needed so badly— would be altered for ever.

      And Mila...

      Was this really what she wanted?

      ‘I just want tonight,’ Mila whispered, reading his mind.

      And with that he was losing himself in those eyes, falling into their depths.

      He needed to touch her. He needed Mila. There was no going back.

Dear Reader,

      Next year will be my twenty-year high school reunion (how did this happen?), and I’m lucky to still be very close to two of my friends from high school.

      Through interstate and overseas moves, marriage and children, our friendships have shifted over the years. Right now, we catch up with a backdrop of exuberant children, or—even better—over a glass of wine. Quite the contrast to the nights we wore satin trousers, midriff tops (it was the ’90s!) and drank cheap sparkling wine as we tottered about Fremantle! While I’m glad those days are behind us, much of our friendship remains unchanged. We still talk for hours, we still support each other unconditionally and we still laugh and sigh at rom coms at the local cinema.

      I’ve always thought there’s something special about childhood friendships that endure, and that’s where Mila and Seb’s story came from. Mila and Seb’s friendship has drifted, but a tragedy brings them back together—until a long-forgotten attraction makes things very complicated!

      I hope you enjoy Mila and Seb’s journey as the boy—and girl—next door discover that their childhood connection has become so much more.

      RITA® Award–winning author LEAH ASHTON never expected to write books. She grew up reading everything she could lay her hands on—from pony books to the backs of cereal boxes at breakfast. One day she discovered the page-turning, happy-sigh-inducing world of romance novels...and one day, much later, wondered if maybe she could write one too.

      Leah now lives in Perth, Western Australia, and writes happy-ever-afters for heroines who definitely don’t need saving. She has a gorgeous husband, two amazing daughters and the best intentions to plan meals and maintain an effortlessly tidy home. When she’s not writing, Leah loves all-day breakfast, rambling conversations and laughing until she cries. She really hates cucumber. And scary movies.
