Don’t sleep with your best friend’s brother.

My best friend, Gia, has a rule for her employees and her friends: No dating her brothers.

But Leo Giovanni is the guy I’d secretly crushed on since high school—who also happens to be Gia’s eldest brother.

The Giovannis are the family I never had, and I refuse to do anything to mess that up.

Leo has always had a special relationship with my daughter, but when he starts coming around more, taking us out on dates, building Evie a playhouse, and whispering sweet Italian words to me, I find myself lowering the walls I’d erected around my heart.

He says all the right words and has made it clear he wants both Evie and me, knowing we come as a packaged deal. The only problem is, he wants to keep our relationship a secret.

His parents want him to marry a nice Italian girl, and his sister—my best friend and employer—would feel betrayed if she ever found out. Not to mention, the expansion of his family’s restaurant hinges on his parents’ approval.

We both have a lot on the line if this goes south, but I refuse to be anybody’s dirty little secret.

How can we make a relationship last when everything is so stacked against us?

Best Friends brother to lovers and add a small town romance you get the story of Harper and Leo. Harper and Leo know one another from his sister Gia so that makes them off limits to one another. Harper had a hard childhood, she is trying to make a better life for herself and her daughter, so she would spend a lot of time with Gia and her big loud Italian family, I’m so glad that Harper was able to find a family that took in her and her daughter and treated her as their own nipote. Leo has two sides on one hand he’s a one track mind guy and on the other hand, when he is with Harper he is caring and kind, when he’s with Harper’s daughter he’s wrapped around her little finger.
