Gemma Forester's New Year's Eve date was going fine, actually, until her brother called. Well — until the bartender called everyone in her brother's phone, which included her. And Aaron Hendricks.
Of course it included Aaron Hendricks.
She spent years being invisible to him — too young, off limits, her brother's little sister and therefore practically furniture. Aaron and her brother had a code, and Gemma was firmly on the wrong side of it.
But that was then. They're not those people anymore. And when they've sorted out her brother's broken heart and sent him safely home, it's still New Year's Eve, and Aaron is looking at her like he is very aware she is not a kid anymore and has possibly been aware of this for longer than he'd like to admit.
One failed rescue mission. One unexpected night. And a countdown that's about to change everything.
A second chance novelette for everyone who ever loved their brother's best friend and just needed the timing — and the bro code — to finally get out of the way.
