CLOSE TO MY HEART IS LIVE
These two have been best friends since Wes introduced himself to Sutton under the slide at recess. Wes was Sutton's shelter from the storm—literally. But neither of them could cross the barrier from friends to something else. Not until Sutton's grandmother issues her ultimatum—marry someone if you want inherit the family's estate. When Sutton starts dating other guys to find the perfect groom, Wes can't handle it. And when she brings one of the candidates to his tree farm on a date, he can't help but point out all the ways that guy is inferior.
Wes can't watch her marry some other guy. He's too protective. Too fiercely loyal to let her walk out of his life and marry someone who's after her money. If Sutton was going to marry someone, it was going to be him.
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.
