My brother's best friend kissed me two years ago and I can't let it go. Even though we risk an HR scandal and hurting the family, I think he's on the brink of giving in . . .

Jake is a giant with the strength to handle my curves and the sweetness to write love songs. He likes it when I push him, wondering if he'll pin me against the wall and break—again.

For years we resisted. He's too loyal to my brother and my parents, who treat him like a son. To make matters worse, I'm his boss, so we shouldn't pursue it.

Until too many hours alone planning his upcoming promotion and a family event make us forget all about rules. Soon we can't keep our hands off each other. When I hear the songs he wrote about me? I'm done for.

But frenzied kisses in empty offices and secret getaways won't take us far. If things go wrong, it could tear the family apart and ruin our reputation in the conglomerate we run.

Being in his arms is everything I dreamed of. With my heart at stake, it's finally time to bet on us and face the world . . . or the wreckage is all we'll leave behind.

Contains mature themes.
