Waiting for the Chance — Marie Cole

Best friends since middle school, Elly Palmer and Kent Lytle have always been firmly in the friend zone with each other. By college, Elly is ready to make her move, even though she'd rather die than admit to anyone, especially Kent, she'd been waiting around for him to finally notice her. Too bad her timing is all wrong. In spite of growing closer to one another and sharing a close moment together, Kent makes a terrible mistake.

She's moved on with her life and is involved with a new guy. But when Elly's relationship ends as well, she can't help turning to her lifelong BFF, Kent. But Kent's unwilling to settle for just being friends with benefits. Will Elly find the courage to let him into her heart again, or will they forever remain just dear friends, always WAITING FOR THE CHANCE…
