She’s my best friend’s little sister. Completely off-limits. But every man has his breaking point.

Lila James is my best friend’s little sister and I’ve always looked out for her.
She’s five years younger than me, and when she left for college, she was just a kid.
But now she’s home for the summer—and she’s definitely not a kid anymore.
She’s beautiful and smart and everything I didn’t know I needed.
Dark eyes. Long wavy hair. And legs that are meant to be wrapped around me.
I’m the guy who likes to have a good time.
Keep things light.
When her brother asks me to hire her at my restaurant, it’s a no-brainer.
There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for her.
Until she asks me for one more favor.
She wants me to be her first.
Take her V-card.
Go where no man has gone before.
Her words, not mine.
And damn if I don’t want to go there more than I’ve ever wanted anything.
She’s only here for the summer, and she says it will be our secret.
It’s temporary.
We’ll go back to being just friends at the end of summer.
She promises that she won’t fall for me.
She knows better.
But Lila isn’t the one I’m worried about.

Hugh and Lila grew up together and have always been close to one another adding the magic spice that I love. Lila has come back home from college for the summer to help her dad get the help that he needs for his addiction. She moves out of her dad’s home and moves in with her brother’s best friend Hugh. These two have chemistry, banter, laughter, and emotion all that you need and want in a book. One of the things that bothered me was Lila’s brother Travis he was getting on my nerves the whole time. Aside from him, this book did not disappoint. I’m excited to see who is next in the Cottonwood series.
