New Release: Will by Kat Savage

Title: Will
Author: Kat Savage
Genre: Best Friend’s Brother Rom-Com
Release Date: 22 June 2021

Summary:

Willette Archer has a secret—though some would argue how well kept it actually is. As right-hand woman and best friend to the owner of Bird’s Eye Tattoo Studio, her job has become her whole life. So, she occupies her days with shop decisions to avoid her disappointing dating life.

Of course, that might also have something to do with her two-decade old infatuation with her aforementioned best friend’s older brother.

Derek Tanner is at a loss—with basically everything. His apartment lease is up, most of his belongings are somewhere in storage, and the good doctor has been pulling extra shifts at the hospital due to lack of staff. So, yeah. His life is chaos. Thanks to these wonderful circumstances, dating is nowhere on his radar.

When his little brother suggests he stay in Willette’s spare room for the time being, he’s both grateful and hesitant. Sure, he grew up with Will too, but they’ve never been as close—let alone in close quarters.

It doesn’t take very long for Doctor Derek to start seeing Will in a new light. This makes him think perhaps he should be examined. Will, on the other hand, is this close to feigning injury just so he’ll touch her already.

When boundaries are crossed and relationships are finally taken to the next level, will Willette get exactly what she’s been hoping for since childhood, or will her fantasy be forever ruined?

My name is Lilly.
What is my last name, you ask?
I. Don’t. Know.

I lost track of who I am months ago. I thought I was a McGuire until my brother let me in on the secrets that drove a wedge between my family so many years ago.

Consumed with the need for answers, I made decisions others would’ve called reckless—and they’re probably right.

The feeling of betrayal sat too deep for me to see reason. I should’ve told my parents, informed the authorities, but trust is a fragile thing. Once it’s broken, is there really a chance of rebuilding it?

Then I met him.

He gave me answers, but he had questions of his own. The more time we spent together, the more we bonded…until the lines were blurred.
Home was no longer tied to a place but to two individuals.
Throughout our search for the truth, I almost lost the boy that means everything to me.
Hunted by the media, tormented by Rhys’s psychotic ex and her followers, I became a target, and my need to run put everyone at risk.

No one could’ve expected what actually happened over a decade ago. How one decision started a chain of events that led to me being the pawn in her game.

Find out what really happened ten years ago in this angst-filled, romantic-suspense story full Of Light and Dark.
