Description

I'll do anything to protect her. Even if it destroys me…

No one is as close to my heart as Sutton. We've been best friends forever, and I love her.

I'm also in love with her.

Not that she knows it. I can't risk losing her over something as unpredictable as romance.

So, when her grandmother issued the ultimatum to marry or lose everything, I didn't intend to get involved.

But I did.

I suggested she marry me.

We're complete opposites. She's an heiress, and I grew up on a Christmas tree farm. She can have anyone she wants…and I only want her.

The odds of this marriage ending in happily ever after are slim. I know that.

What I don't know is how I'm going to make it out of this thing with my heart intact. I guess that'll ultimately be up to Sutton, though.

Especially since my heart has been hers from the beginning.

Close to My Heart, book 3 in the Calloway series, is a sexy, sweet and spicy, friends to lovers contemporary romance novel that can be read as a standalone.
