Twenty-four-year-old Nicole Fletcher is having a rough summer. The woman who raised her is dying and there’s nothing she can do about it. Nothing but find solace in the forbidden fantasies starring her best friend’s younger brother. Nic knows there are some lines you can never cross – but when it comes to “little” Landon Pike, she kind of already has. She tries to stay away but when your world is falling apart, you can’t help but fall right along with it. Good thing Landon refuses to let her fall alone.

“You wouldn’t sound so angry about it if you didn’t think it was wrong too.”
“I’m not angry at the feeling Nic. I’m angry at you. You obviously want this as much as I do but you’re doing what you do best.”
“Oh? I didn’t realize you knew me so freaking well.”
He traces the length of my cheekbone. “That’s because you just started paying attention.
