6ix Loves

Pippa just showed up uninvited with plans of staying the weekend. I can hardly handle an hour with her, let alone two days. Despite more than a year of dodging her, nothing has changed. She’s the only woman I want. Smart and sexy and bold. My best friend’s little sister. Forbidden. Denying my desire for her is torture. And she doesn’t make it easy. She wants me, too. The thing is, making her mine means ruining my best friend.

I’m screwed. Drew Hayes just showed up on my doorstep. My best friend’s older brother. The love of my life. My ex. He dumped me five years ago. I moved on. Got married. But when I tell him to leave, he does the opposite. He storms into my life. Tears down my walls. Demands the one thing I won’t ever give him again. My love. He’s my past. Yet every time I look into his eyes, I see my future.

All my life I’ve been keeping score and living by the rules. Play it safe. Stay out of trouble. Hide who you really are. To win, I go unnoticed and it’s working. Until my predictable, virginal life comes under attack. Worst of all, I’m the threat. An escape to the cottage is the answer. Only, I’m not alone. Matthew Carruthers is here. Pro football player.

I’m one of Toronto’s most eligible bachelors and CEO of Rothwell Enterprises. I wear success like a well-tailored suit, but that doesn’t mean I’m not at the mercy of others. My heavily guarded trust fund is all I need to take my business to new heights. But to get my hands on that money, I have only two options: Wait 'til I’m 40 or get married.

I’m a reluctant thief, and he should be off-limits, but underneath his hard exterior lies an adoring father and caring man. And the real jaw-dropper? He’s interested in me.

Twenty-five hundred miles in a car. All I want is a respectful driver who'll be quiet and let me lick my wounds. Instead, a disarming flirt takes the wheel and propels my life into a tailspin. My father was supposed to be my road trip companion but abandoned me for his work. Once again. It should no longer hurt, but it does. To add insult to injury, with his shorts and flip-flops, mussed hair, and a blindingly perfect smile, my driver is... Annoyingly hot and far too friendly.
