The Story
He's a single dad in over his head. She's his best friend who moves in to help...
Kemp
I went from carefree to single dad overnight, and I'm in way over my head.
My life was already packed-firefighter shifts, running a brewery-but nothing prepared me for this. Or for how much I need Anna.
She steps in without hesitation, like she always does. But keeping things to just friends is even harder than being a dad.
We're living in close quarters, sharing responsibilities, and building something that looks a lot like a family.
Now I'm falling for my best friend-and I don't know how to stop.
Anna
Loving Kemp has always been my secret. Safe. One-sided. Controlled.
Until now.
Helping him means stepping into his world-into forced proximity, quiet moments, and a life that feels dangerously like mine.
The more time we spend together, the harder it is to pretend I don't want more.
Because this isn't just a crush anymore. It's everything.
And if he doesn't feel the same... I could lose the one person I can't live without.
