But Nolan Hendrix doesn’t let it slide. He’s calm. Composed. Way too attractive to be real. And instead of walking away, he leans in, unshaken, unbothered, and intent on exploring every line she wrote. What begins as a scandalous mishap turns into something far more dangerous. The tension is magnetic. The desire is undeniable. But Lena is a single mom, with a child to protect and a past that still burns. Can she really give in to something that feels like pure temptation?

Graham
I thought keeping an eye on August Hale at the Valentine’s Day Masquerade would be easy. When his brothers are too preoccupied to watch over him, I step in—just like I always do. What I didn’t expect? The burning rage that hits me when August's ex shows up, all hands and smooth lines, trying to win him back. Jealousy wasn’t part of the plan. Neither was throwing a punch or ending up alone with August in a guest room, where there’s nowhere to hide from the truth. August is off-limits. Always has been. After all, he’s my best friend’s little brother. So why can’t I stop wanting him?
