A sensual slow-burn romance that will leave you smiling!
Beth Demeroven is anxious about her seasonal debut. Her father has died and left her and her mother with nothing, so Beth has only one season to find a husband that can provide her with security before her family home is turned over to her uncle.
Gwen Havenfort, on the other hand, could care less about the season even though it's her fourth one. With a rich and charming father who ensures she's well cared for, Gwen would rather spend time mocking the eligible bachelors than dancing with them.
When Beth and Gwen meet at the Halyard Ball they become fast friends, and Beth realizes she's having way more fun spending time with Gwen than looking for a husband. And after an awkward exchange between Beth's mother and Gwen's father leads to the discovery that their parents were once in love, Gwen has a marvelous idea: get their parents to fall in love again and get married so Beth and Gwen can spend less time looking for husbands and more time having fun! However, the more Gwen and Beth scheme, the less they believe their parents can rekindle their love. Although, they might just be igniting a love of their own instead.
A sensual slow-burn that will leave you smiling, Don't Want You Like A Best Friend is an impeccable must-read romance!
