Stuck on my Best Friend’s Brother by Kate Lovelace
There’s something deliciously scandalous about being engaged to Mr. Sure-Thing while still lusting after the unforgettable Mr. Could-Have-Been.
Jaxon Grey, Roseland’s resident bad boy and my best friend’s brother, owns that title with his bright blue eyes, all-American good looks, and muscles for days.
Once upon a scandalous time, I was his.
His dirty talk filled my nights, his possessiveness marked me. I was his untamed, off-limits conquest.
Then life happened. I moved on, at least I thought I had, until he strolled back into our sleepy hometown, sexier than ever, and that old spark? It didn’t just reignite; it exploded.
It would be so easy to fall back into those strong arms and beg him to possess me once again.
But he’s made it clear he hates my guts for getting engaged to his former rival. And did I mention, he’s also my new boss?
So here I am, on the cusp of marriage, aching to surrender to a man known for his reckless charm.
And when we start falling back into our familiar flirtatious ways, I can’t help but wonder: what’s it about for this ex-football star—winning the girl or winning the game?
Stuck on My Best Friend’s Brother – Book 1 of The Roseland Bad Boys series – is a complete standalone that makes Romeo and Juliet look like they had it easy. There’s no cheating (apart from the hero stealing every scene), zero violence (unless you count the attack on your heartstrings), and absolutely no cliffhangers (I’m not a monster). It’s just a one-way ticket to a happily ever after, so steamy it comes with a built-in defroster for your Kindle screen. So grab a fan, a cold shower, or your ice cream of choice, because Roseland’s bad boys are about to leave you laughing, longing, and ludicrously in love.
