Off limits Easton Hayes

Your older brother has always been your escape. When living with your parents became too much, he opened his door without hesitation and gave you a place to stay. The arrangement has worked perfectly—at least until he’s suddenly sent across the country for a seven-day business trip. Unfortunately, your family still refuses to believe you’re capable of surviving a week on your own. Their solution? Have someone stay with you until your brother gets back. That someone just happens to be his best friend. The same best friend you’ve been hopelessly crushing on for years. The one who’s been a constant presence in your life for as long as you can remember. The one who strolls through the front door with a duffel bag, a casual smile, and absolutely no idea what kind of effect he has on you. Now he’s living under the same roof for seven entire days, sharing meals, late-night conversations, and every awkward moment in between. Seven days should be easy. You’re both adults. He’s only there because your family insists someone needs to keep an eye on you. But when a long-held crush is suddenly sleeping down the hall, keeping your feelings hidden becomes a lot harder than expected. And with every passing day, the line between family friend and something more starts to feel a little less clear.
