Henley Blackwood.

She's loyal, fiercely independent, and the one girl I shouldn't want.

The ultimate temptation...my best friend's younger sister.

I've been fighting my attraction to her since she graduated culinary school and started running the kitchen in my bar.

There's too much between us.

Her age. My past. Our families.

But lust burns through me like a shot of whiskey every time I catch a glimpse of her. When I wake up hungover with her beautiful body pressed against mine...

Temptation becomes much harder to resist.

Holden Sterling.

He's charismatic, wildly protective, and a guy I've known basically my whole life.

My brother's best friend...and technically my boss.

I'm not one of those girls who crushed on their older brother's best friends. My upbringing didn't allow for such trivial things.

My priorities are about goals, not guys.

I've got too many plans and things to prove.

But I wake up with Holden after a night neither of us can remember...

And he gives me a kiss I can't seem to forget.
