Quarter Miles

Katherine Gates has loved Cash Greer since the day he saved her from a runaway goat. Cash sees her differently: she is the little sister he never had, his roommate and his favorite coworker. Best friends, nothing more.

Katherine grew up in a junkyard, and in her darkest years it was her friendships that kept her going. So she has trained herself to bury what she feels for Cash, even with his bright eyes and a smile that lights up the snowiest Montana winter day.

Hiding it costs her more each year. One day she makes an impulsive decision to drive to the Oregon coast by herself. Cash talks his way into the passenger seat before she can leave without him.

The longer they stay on the road, the harder the pretending gets. When Katherine finally admits how she feels, she learns Cash is keeping secrets too. This friends-to-lovers story, set between Montana and the Pacific, turns on whether those secrets will bind the two of them together or break them apart.
