In the Pines

By K. ROSE

-Austin-
Breanna's been my best friend since high school started. So much so, we've done everything together, including the college experience. There's just one problem . . .
I've been in love with her since I was old enough to know what love is.
She doesn't know it, of course. We went on one date our freshman year of high school, and it was a disaster. After that, we promised we'd stay friends, no matter what. And we have. But my feelings for her haven't changed. If anything, they're stronger than they've ever been.
My Frat buddies and I invite Bre and her roommate to come hang with us on a trip for Spring Break. By the time we're ready to head back for the last leg before graduation, I'm doing everything I can to not lose Bre.
Trying for a relationship with her is everything I want, but it's also the most terrifying thing I've thought about. The last thing I want is to lose her as my best friend if things don't work out because I can't picture my life without her.
But after graduation, I'm going Pro for soccer, and she already has a teaching job lined up here at home.
Now it's time to figure out how much this love is worth because I might have to put everything on the line to have it.

K. ROSE

K. Rose has been a part of the Indie Author Community for years. Getting her start as a reader, her keen eye led to a wonderful career in Alpha/Beta and ARC (Advance Reader Copy) reading. As a joke to her fellow advanced reader colleagues, she created a spoofed blurb and cover for a story and the feedback was so positive that it sparked her to run with it.That stoked a fire that has her racing down a multi-genre freeway with no off-ramp in sight. K. doesn't write to "market" and she is fairly certain that her humor and use of puns may cause an eye roll or two. This still wouldn't stop her from making sure there is humor in every one of her stories. As a Multi Genre Author, there is sure to be something for everyone to love.She has traveled the USA extensively, including Alaska, and lived in thirty-eight of the fifty states. Home is now the beautiful state of Wisconsin, where she dreams up her stories in the company of her menagerie of furbabies, including five puppies, five rescue kitties, a bunch of chickens, ducks and turkeys ruled by a Rooster named Chicken Parm, and a ninety-gallon tropical fish tank.Life will always be interesting for K. Rose, which will fuel her works, and keep her muses singing, come join the chorus.

Chapter One

BREANNA

You absolutely have to come with me, Lissy. I am practically begging my roommate to stop taking snaps and just look at me for a minute so I can properly convince her to go. Please? Erik invited us all up to the cabin for one last spring break party. . . Karim, Erik, and Austin are already packed and ready. I just stare at my friend while she records another seven-second video
