Excerpt:
โThis is a nice place youโve got.โ
She rolled her eyes. โYou donโt have to butter me up. Iโve seen where you live now. You cannot possibly think this is nice.โ
โYeah, it is. I havenโt always lived in a mansion, you know?โ
โYou had a fancy bachelor pad before,โ she said as she took out her keys. โCome on in. Iโll give you a tour. I promise it wonโt take long. Itโs not very big. I canโt believe you havenโt been to my house.โ
When she opened the door, I started to laugh.
She looked over her shoulder. โSomething funny?โ
I shook my head. โNo. This place just fits you perfectly.โ
โYou can tell that by one glance?โ
โSome things donโt change. Look at all these shelves. Even in that cramped dorm room, you managed to put up shelves everywhere.โ
She chuckled. โTrue. And I ended up bringing them to every single one of my rentals until they broke. Thatโs why I got new ones.โ
โI definitely recognize that ottoman.โ
She smiled sheepishly. โYeah. It doesnโt fit with this new couch, but I love it too much. Itโs the perfect height for putting up my feet. My bedroom is through there.โ She pointed to the door.
โAnd the bathroom is there.โ There was a small door hidden near a shelf.
โSo, no en suite.โ
โItโs just me. And the whole place is so small that everything feels like an en suite.โ She turned to face me. โDo you want some sweet tea?โ
โYouโre still a fan of that?โ
โOh yeah. Once a sweet tea lover, always a sweet tea lover. Reminds me of my gran too. She always said it was a pity that people didnโt like to make their own anymore.โ
I needed to leave. Lingering wasnโt smart. I kept eyeing her long legs. The way the dress highlighted her waist and ass.
Focus on the house, Knox.
I blinked, looking around. Her kitchen was small. There wasnโt much space between the counter and the stove.
โWhere do you bake?โ I asked.
โI donโt need a lot of room. Obviously, itโs easier if you do have it, of course. Iโm still daydreaming about that amazing marble countertop at your place.โ
I leaned against the counter and tilted slightly toward her as she poured sweet tea into glasses.
โYouโre welcome to bake there whenever you want to.โ Yeah, I was definitely looking for every excuse to lure her back.
โHere you go.โ Amy handed me my glass.
โActually, I should go,โ I said.
โWhat? Why?โ
I swallowed hard and couldnโt come up with an excuse for the life of me, so I decided to just lay it all out for her. โBecause I donโt want any sweet tea, Amy. I want you. I canโt stop wanting you, and I donโt know what the hell is going on.โ
โKnox.โ She licked her lips, and I captured her mouth for a kiss. She tasted like sweet tea and alcohol, and I couldnโt stop kissing her. She was so damn delicious.
Blurb:
Iโm Knox Sterling. Self-made billionaire. Playboy.
My whole life, Iโve chased women, thrills, and anything that keeps things uncomplicated.
Commitment? Not my style.
Except for Amy. My best friend is the only woman whoโs ever been completely off-limits. Sheโs the one person whoโs kept me grounded since the days when my bank account barely covered rent.
The one woman Iโve secretly wanted for yearsโฆ but never touched.
But after a minor car crash reminds me how quickly life can change, waiting suddenly feels like the worst mistake.
So when Amy asks me to chaperone a school field trip and inspire her students with stories from my career, I say yes without hesitation. Any excuse to spend more time with her.
But the trip doesnโt go as planned. A freak accident leaves us stranded in a small town overnight.
Just the two of us.
One hotel room.
Years of tension finally snapping.
One reckless kiss turns into an unforgettable night.
Falling for my best friend might be the most dangerous move Iโve ever madeโฆ
But once I have her in my bed, thereโs no way Iโm letting her walk away.
