Joey
I don't want to be someone's dirty little secret. I know all too well what that feels like.
Guarding my heart means staying out of pro football player Brock Williams's bed and out of the spotlight. After all these years, he's exactly like I remember: charming, determined, and used to getting what he wants. And what he wants now is me.
The chemistry between us is undeniable. The guy I always saw as a player is now the one who makes my heart beat fast—the one who leaves dirty love notes on my pillow.
Oh, yeah…he also happens to be my brother's best friend.

Hooking up with Joey is a bad idea, but that's not going to stop me.
I remember the first time we met. Joey showed up on campus to visit her brother, and when she came walking out in that little yellow bikini, I stopped seeing her as my best friend's little sister and started seeing her as someone I desired but could never have. It turns out I was wrong.
For now, it's stolen moments and promises on paper…of all the things I'm going to do once I make her mine. Her brother might not forgive me, but she's worth the risk. I can't deny myself any longer.
I'm tired of sitting on the sidelines. It's time to execute the play and show Joey how our story ends.
