Could've, Should've, Would've - Unconventionally, Elle, #2

Years of secret pining. A week-long trip. Only one bed. Will they stay just friends… or return home as something more?  

Weeks before jetting off on her thirtieth birthday trip, Addie Taylor catches her boyfriend cheating on national television. Facing a major milestone with nothing in her life going as planned, she begs her best friend to join her in Europe. Their childhood marriage pact may be void, but at least he can save her from celebrating alone. Instead, he volunteers his older brother. Addie's crushed on strong, steady Grey Buford forever, but their lives are too intertwined to ever reveal her attraction. Sharing a hotel room should be interesting…

Even though Grey's had his own heartbreaks, he hasn't given up on love—or Addie. She doesn't need to know he's been pining for her for years. He's there to be a supportive travel buddy, nothing else. Except, the longer they spend in close quarters, the more Grey suspects Addie might have feelings that rival his own. But making the first move could ruin everything.

In between exploring quaint towns and iconic landmarks, long-buried sparks ignite and friendship lines are crossed. But their whirlwind fling gets a cold dose of reality when they return home. Conflicting career paths and pressure to fix a long-term relationship force Addie to wonder: would they be better off as friends? Or should she risk it all for Grey Buford?
