Claiming Becca (Coming Home Series)

 There’s only one guy I can’t have. And he’s the one I fell for. My best friend.
At seventeen, almost eighteen, I found myself homeless and running from dangers one couldn’t even fathom. That’s when I met him. My best friend. It started with a box of food I stole, to him saving me. Twice. Me running away. Him finding me and offering me a place to stay.
He says it was to keep me safe, but maybe as time goes on, it is something more?
As years went by, he slowly burrowed himself inside my heart. He became my person. Yet, with every joke, hug, phone call, and interaction, I’ve found that I want him more than just my friend. Then in the blink of an eye, he gets hurt, almost killed, protecting someone close to us.
Once more, I find myself living with him—this time to help him recover.
Stolen glances and lingering touches make me think there may be something more, a chance there is some truth to what everyone around us says. His feelings may, in fact, reflect mine. And when a horrible date goes completely awry, the truth comes out.
He claims me as his. Life couldn’t have been sweeter.
That is, until a man from our past comes back with a vengeance, endangering our friends and loved ones. The two of us do everything we can to protect them. This time is different, though, because come hell or high water, we will get rid of him for good. Hopefully, leading to us finally getting our happy-ever-after.
