Second Chance with My Secret Crush

A Sweet Small Town Friends to Lovers Romance

My best friend's billionaire brother and my secret long-lost crush is now my new boss.

At twenty-five, I never thought I’d find myself back in my hometown Mermaid Shores, working at the Siren and Sword bar and grill.

My dreams of a career in art have stalled, and my paintbrush gathers dust.
But my artistic slump isn't my sole concern.

Self-made billionaire Liam Moore has resurfaced, rekindling feelings long gone.
We were once inseparable best friends, but anything more was off-limits.

He shattered my heart when he left without looking back, and his absence at his own mother's funeral felt like the final farewell.

Now he's back, sparking my need for more than friendship.
His maturity is captivating, yet he's guarded and secretive about why he’s returned.

As we renovate the Siren and Sword, I wonder if this is our second chance to show our true emotions or if our secrets will keep us apart.
