Title: The Best Friend’s Guide to Taking Risks
Author: Kadie Scott and Nicole Flockton
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Everyone knows that the biggest risk you can take with your best friend is to cross a certain line.
When it comes to relationships, Hunter Lancing is not a risk taker. Between his parents’ terrible divorce and his own bad decisions, he’s been burned. Computers make more sense to him. Everything has a rule. Everything is defined. Like his computers, his best friend is defined, constant, and comes with rules he won’t break.

“Ohhh, I think I’ve died and gone to chocolate heaven,” she gushed as she picked up a spoon and sliced it through the cake. Her eyes drifted shut as she chewed and he let himself watch her. Let himself enjoy her, just for a moment. He swore her happy little moan might take him to his knees. What would he have to do to recreate that sound from her?
Nothing. You do nothing.
“This is hands down one of the best brownies I’ve ever had. You have got to have some, Lancelot.” She opened her eyes.
Hunter grabbed the spoon and stabbed at the brownie.
“Hey, this is a work of art, treat it with the respect it deserves,” admonished Natalie as she gently sliced another portion off with her spoon.
“It’s a brownie, Nat. It’s meant to be eaten, not admired.”
“No reason why you can’t do both.”
For the next few minutes, they ate and Hunter looked at everything around him but Natalie and the spoon going in and out of her mouth. The way her lips clung to the metal as she slipped it back out. The dart of her tongue to lick up anything she missed. Not to mention more small noises of pleasure she was making. Someone should put him out of his misery now. This was Texas. Someone had to be packing, right?
When she finished, she placed the spoon on the plate, a look of sadness turning her irises a darker blue.
“I stand by my comment—best brownie. What do you think?”
“It wasn’t bad.” Honestly, he couldn’t remember a single bite.
She rolled her eyes at him. “You’re a brownie heathen, Hunter Lancing.”
“Add it to the growing list of annoying things about me you have,” he grumbled, tossing his napkin on the plate.
“I would never have a list like that about you.” Natalie sat up and leaned over the table, the neckline of her dress dipped, and his eyes were drawn to her cleavage. He quickly averted his gaze and locked onto hers right as her thumb brushed the side of his mouth.
Like what happened when he was in the zone with his coding, all his focus zeroed in on her and only her. The way the fairy lights on the tree highlighted her brown hair. Her lips glossy and probably sweet from dessert. Her touch against his skin, soft and simple…mesmerizing. The temptation to lean forward and kiss her threatened to derail him like a virtual virus would a computer program.
“Crumb,” she whispered as if she too was caught up in the sensual spell weaving around them. Her voice soft like the fall of a snowflake on the ground, blue eyes turning hazy…dreamy.
“Oh.”
