The Rabbit Close to Home

Sandra Elwood has spent years turning Collins Tiffin into the favorite target of her teasing. From their university days at St. Alden’s to their adult lives in Bristol, their friendship has always been built on playful arguments, ridiculous challenges, constant banter, and an affection neither of them has been willing to examine too closely. Sandra is bold, impulsive, and impossible to ignore. Collins is composed, practical, and usually determined not to encourage her schemes. Everyone around them seems convinced they belong together, yet the two insist that friendship is enough. That certainty begins to change when reunions, weddings, family visits, and familiar jokes start carrying feelings that are harder to dismiss. Sandra realizes that the question she has spent years asking for fun may finally have a serious answer. Collins, meanwhile, must decide whether protecting their friendship is worth risking the possibility of something deeper. The Rabbit Close to Home is a warm friends to lovers romance about university memories, long friendship, playful chemistry, emotional honesty, and two people discovering that the love they kept searching around may have been close to home all along.
