The heart wants what it wants...

My life is a carefully constructed lie. I'm in love with my best friend, but the way I feel could get us both killed. So as long as we stay here on the dusty ranch, I can never tell him how I feel. And if we leave, we'll have nothing but the shirts on our backs.

But when Josh is accused of a crime he didn't commit, fate forces my hand. I steal him away, where it's just the two of us against the world. I will do anything to keep him safe. I'll steal. I'll fight. I'll tell lies.

Yet I can't tell Josh how I feel.

I can't tell him that this is all my fault.

And kissing him in the back of a stranger's truck wasn't exactly part of the plan...

Contains: first times, impossible choices, awkward confessions and love up against the kitchen counter.
