*A friends-to-lovers story where the only way to keep their friendship intact may be to let it go.* Some lies are meant to deceive. Others to protect.I've kept my secrets hidden only to protect the one girl I love the most – Mica Reyes. The one I want as more than just a friend. But lies have a way of sabotaging your life and all they've done is pushed her away. Even when all I want to do is hold onto her for dear life. Maybe I need to take a step back and let her go – like a fadeaway jump shot – before I hurt her and possibly destroy our love in the process.**** Note: This book is a standalone read in the Courting Love series.This book covers sensitive subjects such as drug and alcohol addiction, recovery and racism.
