After a relationship gone
bad, Hilary Matthews felt unsure about where she belonged or what to do with
her life. Cue Zach Collins, a love ‘em and leave ‘em, no strings attached type
of guy. The perfect distraction for her wounded heart. Just one problem. Zach
isn’t some random stranger. He’s her brother’s best friend, and more than that,
he’s practically family. And to
complicate matters, just when things start to heat up between them, she learns
there’s more to Zach than he let on.
Zach’s job as assistant to
an A-list actor allows him the luxury of women, travel, freedom and fun. But
things changed the moment Hilary made her move, completely altering his world.
Hilary is his fantasy come to life, his dream woman in the flesh…and his best
friend’s little sister. Stepping over the line with her would not only ruin his
friendship, but possibly alienate him from the only family he’s ever known.
The pressure mounts as
truths are exposed. Embroiled in betrayal, lies, guilt, and heartache, Hilary
and Zach must decide if the biggest emotion of all is worth the turmoil. With
so much at stake, the repercussions from a promise broken would cause the
battle of their lives.

I didn’t
say anything. Instead my eyes roamed down his body as he approached. His jeans
and shirt were perfectly snug. He sat beside me grabbing the remote, and I was
hyper aware of his proximity. He smelled like fabric softener and aftershave.
It was familiar and comfortable.
“Hilary,”
his voice was soft as his eyes met mine. “Stop looking at me like that.”
“Like
what?” I blinked at him with innocence.
“Like
you want me to make love to you,” he said breathlessly.
My
heart skipped a beat. I fumbled with my hands. “Don’t flatter yourself,
Collins.” His phone trilled from his pocket. He reached in to check it, looked
at the screen and hit the end button. “Who’s Isabella?”
He
hesitated. “Uh, my chef.”
I rolled
my eyes. “Bullshit. You know I can tell when you’re lying.”
“I’m
not lying,” he laughed. “She’s my chef.”
“And
your fuck buddy?” His eyes closed. Yup, he slept with her. His whole body
tensed. “Do you like her?”
His
eyes shot to mine. “No. I mean, yes, but…not in that way.”
The
pang of possessiveness that swept through me was familiar to when Graham said he
was working late, and that his co-worker was just that. “Is she pretty?” I
asked quietly.
He
nodded. “Very.”
“Oh.”
Ouch, that stung more than I wish it had. I snapped out of my pity party and
stood. “Well, then? Why aren’t you answering her call? You could be with her
now.”
His
bewilderment was obvious as I rushed to the window. It was hot and I needed a
draft, and he was right. Drinking around each other wasn’t a good idea. He
watched as I yanked on edges of the glass, trying to pry the window open.
“I told
you I don’t care for her in that way.”
“So?
You don’t have to care for her in that
way in order to fuck. You did it already, didn’t you?” I struggled, but it
wouldn’t budge. “Dammit, the window won’t open, and it’s so hot in here.”
“Only
once,” he mumbled, as if reluctant.
“Spare
me the details, Zachary.” I tugged, becoming breathless as I fought against it.
My voice pitched higher as I hit the edges with my palms. "Stupid
window.”
He
drew up behind me, placing his hands over mine. I froze as his body pressed
against me. We lingered, my back on his chest. Fast paced breaths escaped him.
His mouth was near my ear, the humidity of his breathing caused me to tremble.
“Gently,”
he spoke affectionately, drawing the window up. The crisp air didn’t make a
difference when his warm body was near mine. His hands wrapped around my waist
and he squeezed for only a second as his lips descended between my neck and
shoulder. He gave the skin there a sweet kiss. His lips lingered longer than
they should’ve. “You’re beautiful,” he whispered. His nose grazed over my neck
as he pulled away. “Graham will regret letting you go for the rest of his
life.”
Chills
ran down my spine, all thoughts of Graham long vanished. My ringing body
turned, needing more of Zach’s touch. His warm palms cupped my cheeks. I wanted
more of him. All of him. He looked amazing tonight. I loved the way his emerald
green eyes anchored on mine, promising me my darkest desires were a whisper
away. His thick, dark hair swirled in waves I wanted to run my hands through.
His strong touch had me reeling, and when he denied himself being a good man,
instead of pushing me away, it only made feelings trickle in through the cracks
of my heart.
He backed off, headed to the stairs, escaping me, leaving me
in complete need. Bitterness toward my brother was creeping over me. Zach
wouldn’t lose his friend, his boss. I was a risk he wasn’t willing to take. I
had to remember what Zach said when he left me that day. Hilary, this can’t ever happen. I was sure he’d stick by what he
said. He was a good man, after all, and a good man didn’t break his promises,
but maybe, just maybe, some promises were meant to be broken.
