Me For You—the first novel in the 2.14 series.

All of Halle Cooper and Cade Walsh’s friends know they belong together. Truthfully, they’ve always believed it too, but won’t admit it to each other. 

It was finally going to happen back in high school. Halle finally came to terms with the fact that her best friend Mel and her older brother Abbott hid their relationship from her. Cade’s not-so-secret desire to date Halle finally attracted the help of the golden couple, sparking the ultimate string-pulling operation: Get-Halle-To-Fall-In-Love-With-Cade. No matter how many strings they’ve pulled, it’s never been more than a bunch of “almosts”. 

Now—three years later—their lives look different from anything they ever imagined. While Mel and Abbott are living a typical college life, Cade and Halle are trying to find success in Seattle’s independent music scene. Halle’s love for design and creating helped land her the gig of merch designer for Cade’s band, Tryhard. 

They each have different ways of keeping their feelings hidden from the other: Cade bites his tongue and doesn’t say what he wholly feels and Halle runs away to pretend the feelings don’t exist at all. It’s almost cyclical—a push and pull of mixed signals—effortlessly flirty banter, dating other people as a distraction, and too many stolen glances to count. His charm has a hold on her like no other, but insecurities and past hurts keep getting in Halle’s way, stopping her from going all-in on a relationship with Cade. 

When the old flame is sparked what will it take to keep it burning instead of being blown out over and over again?
