Make You Mine

*(Brother's best friend, forbidden love, small-town, military second-chance romance.)*

A promise written on a coaster.

A lost night in a dark room.

**Grayson Cole** was my brother’s best friend.

He was all of my firsts.

Then he went away...

**Drew Harris** was just a kid, a senior in high school, my best friend’s little sister.

They said she was too young to know her feelings.

I was too old to have them, so I left to join the military.

Four years passed.

Loss, injury, angry words I can never take back…

I’m home, but I’m not the same.

Neither is she.

Now she’s a woman with flashing blue eyes, long blonde hair, and gorgeous curves.

Still, she’s the same sweet smile, the same sassy mouth…

I could never say No to her before.

I should for her sake.

She deserves better than what I’ve become, scarred and damaged.

*“They told me to stay away from you.

I went away to try… **God, I tried.**

Now everything has changed. I’m back, and

I’ll do whatever it takes to **make you mine…”***
