Daniel
has loved Avery for years.
They've been inseparable
since childhood, with Daniel always there to defend the beautiful, feminine boy
who learned far too young how cruel the world could be. Now they're grown,
living together, and still pretending friendship is enough.
For Daniel, loving Avery
quietly has become second nature. He watches him move from one relationship to
another, wishing he could be the man who finally gives Avery everything he
deserves.
What Daniel doesn't know
is that Avery has been hiding a secret of his own.
One intimate confession
changes everything between them, turning two decades of friendship into
something neither of them is willing to lose. And once Avery finally finds the
courage to stop searching elsewhere for love, Daniel intends to make sure his precious
ladybug never has to wonder where he belongs again.
Ladybug is a tender, steamy friends-to-lovers romance about lifelong
devotion, secret yearning, self-expression, and discovering that sometimes
forever has been beside you all along.
