I’ve gone from crushing on my brother’s best friend to wanting to crush him.
Cameron Baker and I have a few things in common. The first being that we were both born and raised in our small Alaskan town. Second, is that we hide our feelings and keep our hearts closed off from anyone who could break them.
But hiding my feelings is harder to do with Cam than most. When I was five years old, grieving the loss of my mother, he showed me how big his heart is, and I’ve never forgotten.
He comes from the richest family in town. Cam’s bad boy gorgeous, flirts like he has a Doctorate in charm, and he’s my brother’s best friend. That last part is where it gets tricky and the sole reason we’ve never crossed the line.
Now, his parents have cut him off to force him to prove himself. I never thought he’d open a competing business to mine. So, I do what I do best, shove all my feelings aside and ready myself to crush him. Game on.
Everything has been out of sync since he walked away from James. Does he dare to make it right? Ten years ago, Morgan Weaver walked away from everything he loved-his burgeoning career as a composer, his cello, and his best friend, James. Family obligations and guilt keep him tied to a job he hates, and his dreams have collected even more dust than his instrument. James Shepherd was left reeling when Morgan abandoned not only their dreams of writing and performing together, but their friendship. James forged on to become an internationally known musician, but he's always felt Morgan's loss and has never been able to shake the feeling that he's responsible for the other man's choice to leave everything behind. A simple request from Morgan's sister brings the men together in a way neither of them expected, and long-denied desire bubbles to the surface overwhelming them both. Knowing it's only temporary, Morgan finds himself lost in a haze of submission, finally able to experience being at James' mercy and determined to enjoy it while it lasts. James, however, has other plans and is equally determined to show Morgan he can have all he's ever wanted-including what they have together.
What tangled webs we weave . . .
He's everything I don't want. A playboy. A beast with a cunningly gorgeous smile. Faces like his only mean one thing. Somewhere underneath all of that handsomeness, there lies a monster.
And if anyone can sense a monster, it's me.
I understand cruelty. I've lived and breathed it my entire life. I existed on the 'charity' of others until I realized that it wouldn't be enough. My demons would soon be set free. They were coming back for me and to be ready for them-to be ready for him-I needed to make myself invincible.
But it's not enough. If I'm going to survive then I need to make an alliance with a monster of my own: Abel Frazier.

Alba Duarte is the queen of the side hustle.
As the eldest daughter in her crisis-prone family, she's always stepped up to help. Her favorite gig is doing Instagram-worthy, bookish-themed bedroom makeovers for friends. Her most hated? Working as the assistant to the most gorgeous-and most infuriating-man on earth.
Theo Ganas is a former Olympic swimmer and heir to a bona fide real estate empire.

When opportunity knocks, she decides to put herself first for once…which means leaving her demanding boss-and relatives-behind.
Her new life in Dallas seems like everything Alba's ever wanted, until a bafflingly charming and attentive Theo turns up in the Lone Star State with an offer she simply cannot refuse. Agreeing to do a home improvement reality TV show with her sexy, and suddenly flirtatious, former boss is not a good idea, but it just might be the makeover her heart has been waiting for.
