Brittany Corbin isn’t just my coworker.
She’s smart. Tough. Gorgeous. And completely off-limits.
For a year, we’ve been just friends—teasing, working side by side, having each other’s backs.
But lately, as we help our boss prepare for his wedding,
I can’t stop looking at her.
Noticing the way she hides behind sharp edges and quick smiles.
Then one night, I find her cornered, shaken.
And something in me snaps.
Now, keeping my distance isn’t an option.
I want to protect her. To know her secrets.
To make her see she doesn’t have to fight alone.
But Brittany doesn’t let people in.
And the closer I get, the more I wonder…
Is she pushing me away to protect herself?
Or because she thinks I’m not worth the risk?
