How to seduce your brother’s best mate in six easy steps… Just between you and me, my brother’s best mate is hot as . I’d never admit how I feel about him to my brother, Alex, because he warned me years ago never to go near his friends. I’ve never admitted it to Damon either. Even though he’s only six years older than me, he’s very much a man, so different from the boys I’ve dated over the past few years. Just the way he calls me ‘ma belle’ is enough to make me melt. But he treats me like his kid sister, which irritates the hell out of me. Then Alex asks Damon if he’ll pick me up from university in Wellington and drive me home to Christchurch for the Easter break. We have eight hours together with nothing to do but talk. He’s smart, bossy, arrogant, and so frickin’ sexy I could explode. By the time we’re halfway home, I want him more than the air I breathe. For the remainder of the journey, I flirt with him. Tease him. And then when we get home, I tell him I want him. He pins me up against the wall. Informs me he would never sleep with his best mate’s little sis. He says he’s not sweet, and he’s not gentle. And he insists a good girl like me should steer clear of bad boys like him. OMG. Now I want him more than life itself. So I invite all my friends around and ask them to tell me their best tips for seducing a man. We whittle it down to a list of six they insist will definitely work. Now, I just have to put them into practice, and see if I can bring him to his knees… * Contains no cheating, no cliffhangers, just a scorching romance and a heart-melting HEA :-) Tropes Beauty and the Beast fairy-tale retelling, one-night stand, fling, soul mates, instalove, alpha hero, billionaire, brother’s best mate, best mate’s little sis
