To Have

by Kali Brixton

A promise is a promise. When Deacon promised never to pursue his best friend's sister, he never faltered even though the feelings he had continued to grow. He was handed a crap hand as a child and his best friend's family took him in so he grew up with her. Kali's heart has always belonged to Deacon. She has secretly loved him from afar, scared to be dismissed as the 'little sister'. She has watched him date others and been crushed time and time again. After a couple of years apart, Deacon is ready to claim the girl that has been his fantasy since he was a boy. But can he get her to trust him after all the bad decisions he's made? I loved this story. I laughed and cried throughout. Kali may break your heart, but she puts it back together in the end.
