Can a childhood crush last forever?

Claire

I've lusted after my best friend's brother since we were teenagers and I first discovered boys. Pretending I didn't was easy with my acting skills. Apart from the one and only time we kissed, but Travis left. Now he's back, and my stupid heart still beats erratically for him.

Then I learn he still has feelings for me...

Travis

Leaving Claire was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. I was only a teenager with my dream career within my grasp. After all my hard work, I couldn't give it up for my teenage crush on my sister's best friend, but I never stopped thinking about her.

So, I chose a movie role where I knew I'd get to come back home to win Claire over. If I still loved her after all this time, then I'd act on those feelings.

The Lust Giving is the emotional fourth standalone book in the Hollywood Hearts short story series. If you like instalove, holiday romance, and a quick read then you'll love Helen Walton's charming romance.
