Mehr als 21 Stunden Hörvergnügen zum kleinen Preis und nur für eine begrenzte Zeit exklusiv bei Thalia! Band 1 - Book Boyfriend. Die Sache ist die: Ich bin kein schlechter Kerl.

To protect the people I love, I made the choice to join the Marines—and leave the love of my life behind. Emma moved on. But now we’re both back in our hometown, and I’m determined to earn her forgiveness. To show her we belong together. I’ve made loving her my mission, and I’m determined not to fail.

Although the gravity between us is inescapable, he tries to push me away. The pain behind his eyes holds him back, and it just might tear us apart.

From the moment Clover crashes into my life, she turns my world upside down. She’s quirky and fun—unlike any woman I’ve ever known.

Loving a woman you can’t have isn’t easy. Ben Gaines knows this all too well. He endured the slow torture of watching Shannon Miles live a life with another man - a man who didn’t deserve her - but he doesn’t regret a minute of it. And he has his reasons. Now, she’s free.

I just need to keep my d*ck—and my heart—out of it. After all, we’re just two friends having fun. What could possibly go wrong?
