Best Friends pretending they aren't in love

I always love a good friends to lovers book. 

When Colette witnessed something she shouldn't have she ends up the play thing of three men. When she attacks one she is able to run. Hudson comes to her rescue with a vow to get whoever hurt her.

Emily does really well with women who have traumatic experiences. For Colette and Hudson this event pushed them to accept their love for each other. There was a really messed up twist in this one that I did not expect.

Emily always has the characters go through a lot but they always find their happiness and this story has plenty of love and joy.
