I've known her for most of my life, now everything feels different. I've known Annette Stern for most of my life. Definitely all of my adult life. From the apple orchard as kids to the very adult taproom where we sparred and joked. I knew she was never for me. She was like a sister—heck no. That's a lie. I never saw her as a sister, but I knew my wild ways would never be over. I'd never hurt her with my careless ways. Then the fire happened. And everything changed. I saved one woman and she was nothing but appreciative. She'd been focused on thanking me in one million ways. That was the Justin Manning everyone expected. The good time guy with no attachments. But it was Annette—Annie—that I couldn't stop thinking about. Couldn't stop imagining in my arms. In my bed. In my life forever. Where she belonged. I just had to find a way to be worthy of her. Author's Note: Welcome to the seventh book in the Brothers Three Orchard series. This is Justin and Annette's book. Friends to lovers have never had this much steam. Or so many fights that end with creative make up sessions. It ends in a HEA with no cliffhanger.
