When desperation leads to marriage… Travis Andrews is always offering a helping hand. Picking up extra bartending shifts, working late nights at his day job, tidying up at his parents’ house, and even helping his sick ex-boyfriend, he is generous to a fault. But even selfless Travis gets in over his head when he agrees to help his little brother with his illegal gambling debts. Trouble lands on his doorstep and Travis is ready to pop under the pressure until his hunky best friend Alec offers a solution to all his problems that seems too good to be true. As the son of a wealthy playboy and grandson of a workaholic investor, Alec Bennett has always been torn between responsibility and fun. He doesn’t want to make life overly complicated, which is why he never told his best friend Travis just how he really feels about him… But Alec’s grandfather drops a bombshell on all of his grandkids who work for him: to distance Bennett Industries from the seedy reputation fostered by Alec’s father, they must get married and settle down or get left out of their grandfather’s will. Alec decides to risk it all: he asks Travis to marry him so he can help him and inherit the company, promising that they can later can part ways and continue their separate lives as friends and nothing more. But Alec knows he wants more, and from the way Travis can’t stop staring at him with those gorgeous brown eyes, it just might be mutual… This is the first book in the Taking Chances series featuring members of the sexy and stubborn Bennett Family. If you love a sexy MM Romance with a marriage deal between best friends, a kitchen mishap, and a younger brother who can’t keep himself from getting in trouble, this one is for you.
