An all new and endearing friends-to-lovers storyโฆ
The One for Me by New York Times bestselling author Corinne Michaels is now live!
Devney Maxwell has been my best friend since we were six years old, but she has no idea I'm in love with her.
โจEven when I'm on the road playing professional baseball, she's my home--the only one I've ever known. But when I return to Sugarloaf to care for the family farm, I discover she's trying to talk herself into a life with the wrong man ... and I become desperate.
It only takes a single, perfect kiss to change everything.
I have six months to get it right with Devney--to convince her to leave this town and turn that kiss into forever.
I aim to do just that as I spend my days coaching her nephew's baseball team, fixing up the farm, and loving her with all I have. Finally, it seems like our relationship is secure and we'll find a way to make it work.
Then tragedy strikes ... changing her life forever. She's needed here more than ever, but as for me--there's no way I can stay.
I know she's the one for me, but I might have to let her go ...

Excerpt:
โDonโt play that crap with me, Sean Arrowood. I know you better. You want the wife and kids. You always have. The issue that you have is that youโre stupid.โ
โStupid?โ
She nods. โYup. S-T-U-P-I-D. And dumb.โ
โThey mean the same thing.โ
โIt required the extra punctuation at the end.โ
God, I love the side of her that is smart-mouthed, fearless, and relaxed. Sheโs only this way with me. Or at least, thatโs what Iโd like to think.
The last ten years have been hard on our friendship. We both went off to college, I had baseball and she was studying. Weโd see each other on breaks, but after the accident that changed the trajectory of my life, I stayed in Maine, and we rarely saw each other.
However, when I had a series in New York, Devney came. If I was in Philly, she would find a way to meet me, and I flew her down to Tampa a few times.
Now, though, Iโll be around her so much more, and I know these feelings arenโt going to go away, theyโll get stronger.
Yeah, I guess I really am stupid.
โWell, I may be stupid, but at least Iโm not settling.โ
She sits up, slapping her hand on the couch cushion. โSettling?โ
โYeah. You may love Oliver, but he doesnโt make you crazy.โ
Devney shifts back. โYouโre making me crazy right now.โ
โGood.โ
โYouโre infuriating!โ
I shrug. โYou love me.โ
โIt helps that youโre hot.โ Devney quickly covers her hand over her mouth. โI did not mean it that like that.โ
I grin and lean toward her. โYou think Iโm hot?โ
โI think youโre mediocre. God knows your harem of . . . whatever you call them . . . think you are.โ
For so long Iโve fought against telling her anything about how I feel. How those women are faceless and mean nothing to me. Itโs always her. Always a brunette who I seek out, hoping to find just a piece of something like her that I can cling to, but I never say it.
Then I wonder, maybe this is the perfect time. Oliver is going to propose. Oliver will marry her, and I wonโt have a god damn thing to say about it because I will have never told her.
Plus, sheโs drunk.
Maybe she wonโt remember it.
โMaybe so, but Iโm not asking them. Plus, all the girls Iโm attracted to look like you.โ
Devney laughs while shaking her head. โWell, it has to be tough kissing your best friend, right?โ
And in that moment, I know what Iโm going to do. It doesnโt matter that itโs stupid or wrong. I no longer care about her boyfriend or how this moment will undoubtedly change everything between us because she will marry him when he asks. Devney wonโt falter. Sheโll cling to the safe, and I am not that, but I love her.
I lean closer and her eyes study my movement. With a trembling hand, I cup her face and brush my thumb against her soft skin. Everything freezes around us as I feel the warmth emanating from her. Our breaths mingle as the distance closes. โI donโt know, but Iโd like to see if itโs tough to kiss you.โ
I wait, giving her one last chance to push me away, but instead, her tongue moves against her pink lips, which is all the invitation I need.
I lean in, my lips touch hers, and I know my life hasnโt just changed, itโs been completely upended.
