First — M.A. Grant

Best friends do everything togetherâ€"including falling in love…

Maya and Cat have been there for each other through thick and thin, the good and the bad, the laughter and the heartache. But with college graduation on the horizon and real life looming, they find themselves facing an uncertain future: one where not even friendship can save them from confusing choices, bad decisions, and the risks of falling in love.

Maya knows that love only leads to pain, and the best relationships are shortâ€"one night short. But after waking up with Jake, her best friend's older brother, in her bed, suddenly things aren't as cut and dry. Cat and Jake are close, a tight unit since their parents' death, and Cat will never forgive her if Jake gets hurt. Jake is a firefighter, and is used to running into flamesâ€"not away from them, and Maya can't seem to resist. But she's already decided her future, and it's far away from here. The only way to get what she's always wanted is to burn every bridge behind her, and destroy the possibility of a future with the one man she may be willing to love.

When Cat Jacobs's parents died while she was in high school, her brother's best friend Dallas Miller was there to help pick up the pieces. Several years and a looming college graduation later, Cat's motorcycleâ€"riding, tattooed knight is about to ride off into the sunsetâ€"and leave her in his dust. She only has six days to convince him to fulfil her secret fantasy of having him for her first before he's gone forever. She's stubborn and he's tempted, but this is a battle for more than just some time in the bedroomâ€"it's a fight for both their futures.
