From Bestselling Authors, J.S. Scott and Ruth Cardello







Lauren:

Graham is my brother's best friend. He’s always been my
protector and my confidant because he accepts me the way I am—and not
many do. I can’t imagine not having him in my life.

Our weekend
together was supposed to be a celebration. I graduated from college,
Graham got engaged and signed with a pro football team, and my brother
landed his dream job. It should have been the best time of our lives.

Except that the weekend started with me walking in on Graham's fiancée going down on my brother.

I
complicated the situation by having sex with Graham after that, but I
wanted to comfort him and, damn, when I saw desire in his eyes—for me—I
couldn’t say no. I’ve wanted him for so long.

Now he doesn’t want to see me. He says he has a darker side he needs to protect me from.

Where do we go from here? Do I try to pretend to be his friend again or push him to open up to me and possibly lose him forever?

Graham

Sleeping
with one of my best friends was not exactly a brilliant idea. It made
things complicated, and I didn't do anything that threw my life into
chaos.  The fiancée her brother, Jack had stolen, had been part of my
life plan, one more step I was taking to be somebody.  Granted, I hadn't
been in love with my intended bride, but I didn't really know how to
love anybody.

I survived.

I pushed to achieve more.

I battled my way to the top of the heap in my pro football career..

I'm a total dick, and I don't want Lauren to see the side of me that would trample over anybody to work my way up in the world.

Lauren
sees me as a hero, a title I'd never gain with anybody else in my life,
so I wanted to keep her sheltered from the hard realities of my life.  I
wanted her to continue to think I was a nice guy when I was really just
the opposite.

We never should have crossed the line of going from friends to lovers.

There's
too much Lauren doesn't know about me, and I care enough about her that
I don't want her to share my pain and the darkness that never sees
daylight inside me.

I want her, but she's a woman I can never have.  She's too smart, too sweet, and way too good for a guy like me.

Unfortunately, pushing her away becomes much more difficult than I'd planned...

















J.S. "Jan" Scott is a New York Times, Wall Street Journal and USA
Today bestselling author of steamy romance. She's an avid reader of all
types of books and literature. Writing what she loves to read, J.S.
Scott writes both contemporary steamy romance stories and paranormal
romance. They almost always feature an Alpha Male and have a happily
ever after because she just can't seem to write them any other way! She
lives in the beautiful Rocky Mountains with her husband and two very
spoiled German Shepherds.  




Ruth Cardello hit the New York Times and USA Today Bestsellers
Lists for the first time back in 2012.  Millions of sales are evidence
that her her books are akin to potato chips, addictive from the first
one. She has created a multi-series billionaire world with a combination
of escapism and realism that has gained her a faithful following of
readers.

What Kindle Reviewers write about her:

"Wow hot at every page. Heart stopping, fear raging, mind blowing wonderful."

"I'm
a true fan of Ms. Cardello. I ran on to her first book a few years back
and have been hooked ever since. I could go on and on about the story
like of this book, but I'm not. All of her books are total page turners,
unique, heart wrenching, and I love them all. There isn't two alike in
the bunch and I feel like i know the characters personally. I personally
read 97 authors books. And I buy every book they put out. This author
is in my top 10. Great job and keep them coming."

"Love this
series. Got me to start reading again. I look forward to the next book.
Thank you for giving me the love of reading back."

Ruth Cardello
was born the youngest of 11 children in a small city in northern Rhode
Island. She spent her young adult years moving as far away as she could
from her large extended family. She lived in Boston, Paris, Orlando, New
York--then came full circle and moved back to New England. She now
happily lives one town over from the one she was born in. For her,
family trumped the warmer weather and international scene.

She
was an educator for 20 years, the last 11 as a kindergarten teacher.
When her school district began cutting jobs, Ruth turned a serious eye
toward her second love- writing and has never been happier. When she's
not writing, you can find her chasing her children around her small farm
or connecting with her readers online.
