Synopsis

Kelsie has been in love with her best friend for two years. She never planned to act on it — until one night on a tropical island, the line between friendship and something more disappeared entirely. By morning, it was back. And Damien made sure she knew it. He called it a mistake. She called it the end of hoping. Determined to protect what's left of her heart, Kelsie does the only thing she can — she stops reaching for him. No saved seats. No late-night movies for two. No pretending that what they had was ever just friendship. She doesn't expect him to notice. She doesn't expect him to care. She's wrong on both counts. Set against the backdrop of a stunning island wedding, Crossing the Line is a story about the courage it takes to love someone, the fear that makes us push them away, and the moment we finally realize that some lines are worth crossing.
