Romance trope: best friends to lovers.

"You're supposed to be my best friend, but all I can think about is kissing you again."

TEDDY:
I somehow got stuck in the unfortunate "one of the guys" category. It was on accident, naturally falling into this role since my childhood best friend was a boy.

The crush on my best friend was also an accident.

He's always seen me as one of the guys. That is, until the one drunken night he didn't. The one that nearly ruined everything a decade ago.

JENSEN:
It was much easier when I didn't notice how hot my best friend is. It would be even better if the rest of the jackoffs in our small town would stop noticing too.

I can still remember all the details from our night together years ago. The night we never talk about, yet it's still so fresh in my mind.

But will a secret scar from a past relationship ruin everything?

[This is BOOK ONE of the WITH YOU series, a small town romance series set in Minnesota about the lives of the dysfunctional, blended Anderson family - with an interwoven mystery built into the background that spans the entirety of the series.]

Be My Escape [BoyxBoy] by ThatLonelyGirl

Michael and Liam are madly in love. Or so they think. How madly in love could you be when you've only just started talking? Liam has always been a helpful person. In fact, his self proclaimed job use to be helping people get with each other. But he was always the one to be left unhappy in the end. As Liam breaks away and starts to go into new and dangerous territory, will he be able to save his heart? Or will he give away the key to his heart too easily? Michael has a over sensitive body. And sometimes that makes it hard to separate feelings correctly. And with every string of boys, he only covers his dark pass even more. He thought everything was perfect, until Liam. Why is he trying to figure Michael out? And why is his touch so good? Lust drives them. Fighting makes them understand. Running makes them worry. And crying brings them closer. What were they thinking, to get involved with a silly thing called: L O V E. (A/N: This actually a little bit of a side story off of my other two books "I HATE YOU" and it's sequel "Hey, I STILL HATE YOU" and you are welcome to read that before this but it isn't necessary! Enjoy.)

🥊 Hate or Fate 💕 {Enemies to Lovers} by WhiskeySeattle

One day you're happy, and the next, a freak accident exposes your boyfriend's dirty little secrets in the worst possible way. I lost the man I loved, my trust in people, and my home in less than one afternoon. At least I know that I've pushed past unimaginable pain before, and I can do it again. Elijah didn't break me, just my heart. 💔🔨 So, the LAST thing I needed was to run into my ex's best friend, Gray on the street. Who cares if he's hotter than lava? Gray's a cocky jerk who seems to get a misguided kick out of making my blood boil. And did I mention the guy's got a chip on his tattooed shoulder even bigger than his inflated ego? Unfortunately, I just found out that I accidentally hired him to work on the BIGGEST campaign of my career!💀 But when Gray's prismatic eyes fill with heartfelt apologies, I don't know how to feel. It's messing with my mind, my career, my new friendships, and worst of all, it's hurting what's left of my ruined heart. I thought Gray hated me, but I was wrong...There is something much, much stronger that binds our fate. 🥊💕 This book contains adult themes (aka sexy stuff and trigger content) as well as Oxford commas and the occasional grammatical error. 🥊💕 **This is a complete story that I am currently in the process of editing, so feedback, notes, and helpful comments are always welcome.

Faking With You by AngieMahlke

Romance Trope: fake dating. When he offers to be my fake fiancé to get my parents off my back, I don't take into consideration what could happen once we start acting the part of being in a relationship. It feels like a safe plan since it's Finn, the goofy playboy not looking for anything serious, but the more layers I peel back, the more I discover about the real man hiding behind the sarcasm and witty retorts. And when we decide to take the relationship into the bedroom, stripping off more than just our clothes, I find it harder and harder to protect myself. The only control I seem to have is my one rule: no kissing. But I have a confession: I maybe, kind of, sort of (read: really fucking badly) want him to kiss me. Once that final barrier is breached, though, then what? Surely the fake status of our relationship can't be more than just that - fake. Right? [This is BOOK THREE of the WITH YOU series, a small town romance series set in Minnesota about the lives of the dysfunctional, blended Anderson family - with an interwoven mystery built into the background that spans the entirety of the series.]

Young, Wild and Married by randomthingsbyme

Every woman's fantasy is to be married with someone they love someday. Most women are excited and ecstatic when planning their marriage ceremony with their husband to be. I have watched a lot of films, read a lot of romance books and seen real life wedding ceremonies and most of the brides are happy during the day of their wedding. Would you blame me for not being like them today-my wedding day? ** Being caught in bed naked with someone after going to a party is so not good especially if the one who caught you was your overly protective and conservative parents. What makes it worse is that the person naked next to you is one of your best bud who happens to be the son of your mother's best friend. One night, one party, one mistake turned their life upside down. ©2013-2016, All rights reserved --- WARNING: This story may contain inappropriate language and scenes for young readers.

The Butterfly Effect by MrsDarcy___

"I want how it was before. I want it all with you in my life again... I'm asking you to stay." Miles Cobain-Smith An aloof and detached logician, he scrutinizes the simplest things through microscopic lenses. Academic validation, family expectations, and unwavering care for the few people close to him sum up his life, and he certainly doesn't have time for love... yet. Juliet Everly A hopeless romantic, she sees the world through rose-colored glasses. According to her, love is magical and the purest thing one can ever encounter. Her world revolves around her dad and friends, and she's very content in her small-town life. She finds solace in romance books, nature, music, and her quiet attachment to bygone eras and everything vintage. Their paths cross. Clashing is inevitable, but there's something more... underneath the teasing remarks, stupid jokes, and laughter, an undercurrent too perplexing to decipher. When ignoring the spark becomes too much, their lives take a whole different turn. Hopes get crushed, dreams get shattered, and hearts get broken as the unexpected hits like a whirlwind. Gentle walks in the rain, soothing ocean breezes, hushed revelations, and an idyllic small town as a tranquil backdrop - how long until the picture-perfect expectations crumble into a mess of feelings too hard to hold back? All we can say is, it will be something unforgettable. Featured on @romance @storiesundiscovered @YA

I stare at Matt's face as he looks down, concentrating on the game. I can tell he's so angry. He's holding it in his jaw, he's clenching his teeth.

"Matty, it's ok." I whisper. He immediately looks up and finds my eyes. His blue eyes are bluer than normal. Impossibly blue. Not even a gray blue. But a pure, brilliant blue. "It's not ok, Rach. I fucking hate him." His swear catches me off guard a bit. But my eye contact doesn't waver. "Thank you." "You're welcome." My favorite color immediately changes to blue. --------------- Two childhood friends have spent a lifetime battling demons. Will life ever give them a break?

A Storm Called Damon | Childhood friends to lovers, he falls first and harder by melherehi

DAMON He's magnetic and mercurial, with a hare trigger temper and hoards of friends. People orbit him like he's the sun. ANNIE She's shy and reserved, and would much rather spend time with her knitting needles than with other people. They couldn't be more different, but Damon and Annie have been best friends since they were kids. She's the only person who can get through to him when he's in one of his infamous tempers, and he's one of the very few people in the world with whom she can be herself. But they're just friends. Best friends, but still just friends - that's it, nothing more. Yeah, sure, Damon's strikingly attractive and would do anything for the few people he loves, but he's also moody and intense and...weirdly possessive of her. Then, Damon does something that leaves Annie feeling hurt and betrayed, and for the first time ever she wonders if it's time to put her friendship with Damon in her rearview mirror. But Damon won't let Annie go that easily. Stubborn and determined, he'll do whatever it takes to claw his way back into Annie's good books. And this time, he's not stopping at best friends, because he wants more. Much more. And Damon always gets what he wants. ───── Chapters uploaded every week

Romeo and Juliet by 2Hearts_write

SHORT CHAPTERS ------ He rips my phone from my hand again and puts it behind him. "Tell me how it works then." "We have to kiss." He looks at me for a few seconds, then grins. I recognize that smile. He's thinking of something mischievous. "A kiss?" "What? Are you worried of kissing me?" His hand swiftly finds the back of my head. A slight tug on my hair and a swift lean in for a kiss leaves me breathless. But breath seems unnecessary. His tongue invades my mouth with a rough yet skilled dance, leading me onto his lap. My hands explore his body, tracing the contours of his chest and arms. ----------------------- Dive into the exhilarating world of Romeo and Juliet as they elevate the game to unprecedented heights. As the reigning players of their school, they're mirror images of each other, identical in spirit but divided by gender. They embark on a daring test of wits and wills against each other. Will they emerge victorious or descend into a battle so fierce they might just claw their eyes out? Ps: This is story has nothing to do with Thank you, Romeo. In fact, this inspired Thank you, Romeo.
