Can't Let Go — Michelle Lynn

Dex is many things, a college senior, the bassist for The Invisibles, a son, a friend, everything but a boyfriend. Everybody knows him as the shallow guy who's up for a good time anytime. People rarely take the time to see the loyal guy lying just beneath the happy-go-lucky façade. There are parts of Dex's life he keeps hidden. Ones he believes no one would understand. Since he gave up on the idea of a dream girl long ago, he thinks he's finally found the perfect balance of connection without commitment with Sam. Chrissy used to know everything about Dex. When he left four years ago for college, she was left behind. With nowhere else to turn, Chrissy calls the one person she's always counted on, Dex. One glance at the sad eyes he's tried to forget and Dex knows it's out of his control. With Chrissy's return, lines begin to cross from friendship to something more, but will Dex's secret force them apart forever?
