ONE String - Aleatha Romig

Enemies-to-lovers, fake-date, little-sister's-best-friend, second-chance, forbidden, stand-alone contemporary romance.

Ricky Dunn is the equivalent of a splinter under my fingernail.
Romantic?
Right.
He's the older brother of my best friend, and no matter how hard either of us tries, we can't seem to avoid each other. The problem started on the night my best friend and I graduated from high school. The party was joyous, a celebration.
That night, I willingly gave Ricky a part of me—more than the kiss we told others about.
Our deal was simple.
No strings.
Ricky kept his side of the bargain.
Years have passed.
Being from the same small town and crossing paths, I haven't noticed how handsome he's become or the way he's filled out.
If you ask me, he hasn't noticed me either.
Until he calls.
I'm working for a finance company, one he's now interviewing for.
"Marilyn, will you be my date for the dinner with the partners? It's only for one date and no strings."
The problem is my heart hasn't kept my side of our bargain.
I want at least one string.
Do I agree to his proposal, or do I turn him down flat?
