Her brother's best friend is hotter than sin and she's about to show up at his luxury apartment. After a lifetime of good behavior, will Connor Dow be able to resist the ultimate temptation on his doorstep? In New York, the city that never sleeps, Gabrielle "Brie" Lawson can't get any shut-eye. Not as a struggling actress and definitely not with her longtime crush, Connor, now so close to her bedroom. The devastating, gorgeous club owner has always been off-limits to her. But given that he's letting her stay with him, that means…well, he might be open to reworking certain sexual boundaries. With a little private time, Brie is determined to seduce him, cooking him romantic meals and prancing around in lacy lingerie. He shouldn't expect a creative beauty to be hemmed in by virtue—or clothing. So it doesn't take long for Connor to trade some late hours at the office for sultry nights with Brie. He seems tailor-made for her in every way. From his well-ordered life to messing up the sheets, there's no one else. But would he risk losing his best friend—and his business—for a chance at true love? Take control. Feel the rush.
