with your best friend’s boyfriend?

Justine is determined to ignore her growing feelings for the irresistibly charming David, until one night, when she finds herself in the bed of the one person she should stay away from.
When Justine and David’s affair ends in heartbreak, Justine is forced to repair the damaged friendship with her best friend. In doing so, she learns that right and wrong decisions aren’t always black and white, and sometimes you have to follow your heart to see where it leads.

Excerpt:
I crept back into David’s bed, trying my hardest not to wake him. Half of
me wanted to slip my clothes on, sneak out the front door, and pretend this
never happened, but I knew we had to talk.
David stirred beside me, and his eyes fluttered open. I waited for his
reaction to mirror mine, but all he did was smile and wrap his arms around me
in a half-hug.
“Good morning beautiful,” he mumbled, cradling his head in my neck.
When I didn’t respond, he looked up at me with sleepy eyes. Although he
looked adorable in his half-conscious state, all my feelings for him had
temporarily subsided. I just stared at him, unable to speak.
“Oh no,” he said. “Don’t look at me like that.”
I lay back on the bed and rested my head on the pillow, turning to face
him. “David, I… we…” I sighed. “We should never have…”
“Listen,” he interjected, propping his head on his elbow. “I know what
you’re thinking, and I know how you’re probably feeling right now. But I need
you to know that I meant everything I said last night.”
And there it was, my biggest fear, staring me right in the face. Instead
of David agreeing that it was all a mistake and suggesting we never mention it
again, it was even worse.
David was in love with me, too.
I didn’t know what to say. No matter which direction I took, I couldn’t
win. I couldn’t tell him I loved him, yet I couldn’t pretend I didn’t.
Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to respond.
I heard her before I saw her. It happened so fast I didn’t have time to
react. The sound of footsteps in the hall. Doors closing and opening. Watching
my best friend’s expression change from excitement to confusion to shock. All
in a matter of seconds.
And for as long as I live, I’ll never be able to erase that image from my
mind.
