After my husband dies, his older brother Wade steps in to keep me standing. ????

Aster
After my husband died, I was left trying to figure out how to stand on my own again.
His older brother Wade steps in to prop me up, and I lean on him through my years of grief.
Five years later, Wade is still in my life.
But things are complicated now, because somewhere along the line I've fallen in love with him.
He's the one man I can never have and the only one I want.

Wade
My brother was one of those people who lived too fast and shined too bright.
He was a good man, but irresponsible, impulsive, and more than a little selfish.
When he died, leaving his young bride grieving, I blamed him for the pain he'd caused her.
And I stepped in to shoulder his responsibilities.
But it's been almost five years now, and Aster doesn't need me anymore.
I haven't figured out how to step out of her life, and that may be because I don't want to.
I want to make her mine, but it feels like a betrayal to my brother.
She's my forbidden fruit. Can I avoid taking just one bite? ??
