A Lifetime of Loving — Kristin Hungenberg

Brittany Feldman was born on the same day as her best friend Trace Akins. Since the time they were fourteen, she has spent ten years watching his girlfriend's come and go. Not until Trace's most recent girlfriend accuses Brittany of being a fifth wheel and tells her to get her own man, does Brittany realize that she does have her own man-Trace.

Except Trace sees her as just his best buddy, the neighboring farmer who can work as well as any man. With the nickname "Brat," Brittany hardly presents much of a romantic lure. A makeover and an attitude change gets him to stop calling her Brat, but will it be enough to make Trace see her as more than just a friend?
