BLURB
From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone, second-chance story of forbidden loveโฆย
ย
Itโs natural to want the one you canโt have. And for as long as I could remember, Iโd secretly wanted my brotherโs best friend, Jace.ย
ย
He was six years older and always treated me like the sister he never had.ย
ย
Fast forward a decade.ย
ย
We were all in our twenties now. Jace had moved in with my brother, Nathan, and me to help us make ends meet after our parents died.ย
ย
It was just the three of usโan odd family dynamic.ย
ย
Living under our roof, Jace was as bossy and protective as ever.ย
ย
But he certainly didnโt look at me like a sister anymore. That was what made things so complicated.ย
ย
I was pretty much hot and bothered twenty-four-seven.ย
ย
And he was torn.ย
ย
The signs were subtle, at first. Like on movie night, Iโd casually rest my leg against his, and he wouldnโt exactly shift away.ย
ย
Still, I assumed he would neverโฆgo there.ย
ย
Nathan would kill us.ย
ย
The knowledge of that wasnโt enough to stop the inevitable, though.ย
ย
Eventually our slow burn exploded.ย
ย
But more than the physical attraction, weโd developed a strong connection.ย
ย
We just couldnโt get caught, right?ย
ย
That sounded simple.ย
ย
Until it wasnโt.ย
ย
This is a story of forbidden love, broken trust, and an unexpected second chance.
