REGRET - The Price of Truth - Joyce Tania

Hayden Moore and Lexi Mitchell have been roommates for seven years. They had an agreement from the day they moved in together to always be just-friends. But Hayden didn't want to play by those rules anymore. Playing drums was life, but so was Lexi.

After several months of loss, tragedy and struggles with his band, Lexi became the only light in his darkness. But when he tells her how he feels . . . and kisses her, it backfires and puts them on a path that threatens to destroy years of uncanny friendship.

Hayden's kiss sends Lexi into a spiral. How dare he break their just-friends rule? After her parents' bitter divorce and her ex left to pursue his music career, her heart's in tatters and she believes all love dies. Stuck with caring for her mother, there is no way Hayden will convince her to take their relationship to another level. She won't risk losing his friendship. No matter how hot he kisses.

But Hayden won't accept her pushing him away. Lexi has no clue how much he wants her. It's time for change. New City. New life. New Career. But is his bold plan worth more to him than his relationship with Lexi? Will he regret kissing her for the rest of his days?
