Brighton

Elias Finchley is everything a woman dreams about in a man. Which is why I threw myself at him years ago, only to be brutally rejected.

He's also my brother's best friend.

So, when Eli comes knocking on my door to inform me about a threat to my family's business and our land that's been passed down for generations, I need to guard my heart.

It turns out, I'm not the only one with a secret obsession.

When tempers and red-hot lust collide, though, things happen.

... Affairs happen.

But my family is in trouble, and the last thing my heart can handle is more drama. It's already too heavy with loss and grief.

Besides, I'm done with him.

Eli, apparently, is not. He's determined, not only to save my family, but to make me his for good. I'm just not sure how I'll survive it.
