BLURB
From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone, second-chance story of forbidden love…
It’s natural to want the one you can’t have. And for as long as I could remember, I’d secretly wanted my brother’s best friend, Jace.
He was six years older and always treated me like the sister he never had.
Fast forward a decade.
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.
It was just the three of us—an odd family dynamic.
Living under our roof, Jace was as bossy and protective as ever.
But he certainly didn’t look at me like a sister anymore. That was what made things so complicated.
I was pretty much hot and bothered twenty-four-seven.
And he was torn.
The signs were subtle, at first. Like on movie night, I’d casually rest my leg against his, and he wouldn’t exactly shift away.
Still, I assumed he would never…go there.
Nathan would kill us.
The knowledge of that wasn’t enough to stop the inevitable, though.
Eventually our slow burn exploded.
But more than the physical attraction, we’d developed a strong connection.
We just couldn’t get caught, right?
That sounded simple.
Until it wasn’t.
This is a story of forbidden love, broken trust, and an unexpected second chance.

Tonya's Review
4 Stars
This is another great stand alone by Penelope ward. If you like older brother's best friend books, this is definitely one you'll want to read.
The beginning was a little slow for me. Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy it.
Jace and Farrah have known each other for forever. Nathan is Farrah's older brother and Jace is his best friend.
Farrah has always had a crush on Jace. For as long as she can remember. He's six years older than she is.
Now that Jace is back and Farrah is grown, things have changed. There is fighting feelings in this. And some running away.
"You really think I'm not already attached to you? You're all I think aobut. Ever since the first moment you kissed me, you owned me."
