A guy should never, and I do mean never, hook up with his friend’s sister.
It doesn’t matter how hot she is or how many times he’s imagined her in a not-so-innocent way. Nope. Those visuals should always remain hidden deep down in a dark place.
But of course, I just had to drink until I couldn’t see straight and screw everything up. Now, I know what you’re thinking, and I swear it wasn’t my fault. It was that damn tequila.
I never expected to wake up naked only a few feet away from the woman I never should have touched. But man, reality had been so much better than any fantasy I’d ever had.
But it all went downhill fast when she opened the door to leave and came face to face with none other than her brother, who is also one of my best friends.
I’m a dead man, but Jade might actually be worth it.
And to think, all it took to change everything was…
Just One Night.

Only, she does. And by then, it all has come crashing down. That’s when Kieran steps in and shows her how to rebuild.

Rafe:
We all have secrets.
As a Ruthless Sinner, I had more than I could count.
Club business was club business. Period.
Marlowe Davenport, the club’s new bartender, had secrets of her own.
The girl was beautiful with captivating, blue eyes that could hypnotize any man.
Hell, without even trying, she had me tied up in knots.
She’d come to Nashville to escape her past, and I was determined to claim her future.
The timing couldn’t have been worse.
There was a war on the horizon, and as those dark clouds drew closer, I would soon discover Marlowe had a part to play in it—a part she didn’t even know she had until everything she cared about was on the line.
Secrets have a way of revealing themselves when you least expect it, and when they do, they don’t give a damn about the casualties they leave in their wake.
