Samantha Brinn Merrily Us

The first time I saw Olivia Sullivan, I thought she was the most beautiful woman in the world, and my heart fell straight at her feet. Five minutes later I realized who she was. My best friend's little sister. A college student. A woman ten years my junior who probably wants little to do with a sometimes lonely, football-obsessed gamer nerd in his thirties still looking for a place to call home. For three years, my secret feelings for Olivia have only grown as our close family connections keep us in each other's proximity, even though she's never given me any sign that she wants what I do. A life. A future. Everything. With her. Except one night, an unexpected snowstorm and a middle of the night cookie baking kitchen rendezvous make me think that maybe my feelings for Olivia aren't so one-sided after all. With a relationship we're keeping secret from Olivia's brother and Olivia about to leave the country for six months right after the holidays, we have a lot stacked against us. But now that I know what it's like to have her by my side, nothing else matters but that we belong to each other, forever and until the end of time. **Merrily Us is a Steel City Legacy Prequel Novella. It has a guaranteed HEA and can be read as a complete standalone**
