I know I shouldn’t want her, but that’s not stopping me from going after what I want.

Jade McKay isn’t just beautiful, she’s temptation wrapped in one delicious package.

The way she looks at me.
The way she makes me lose control.
The way she says my name.

It’s everything. She’s everything.

There’s only one problem — she’s my best friend’s sister and ten years younger than me. Completely off-limits…and impossible to resist.

Now that we’ve crossed that line, there’s no going back. I’m not letting anyone or anything stand between us. Because Jade isn’t what I want, she’s what I need

One Week Earlier

“Babe, you’re playing a dangerous game.” Fuck, we both are. She’s my best friend’s little sister, ten years younger than me, and Jace would castrate me if he knew the thoughts I have running through my head.

“What’s life without a little risk?” I take my eyes off the parking lot at Barlow Auto Repair for the slightest of moments to look at Jade. There’s a playful look on her face.

“I tend to like my family jewels exactly where they belong.” Between my legs, not sucked up into my stomach after her brother rightfully kicks me square in the nuts.

“That would be a problem, especially since I’m particularly fond of them.” Jade and I, well, this is new, though not new-new. Still, it’s long enough to know she’s it for me. I’m gone for her, and she’s damn sure gone for me. Nobody knows, and considering the pact I made with Jade, it’ll be a while before they do.

“Fuck.” I bite down on my lower lip, giving her the same look she likes a little too much, even when we’re somewhere I can’t make good on it—a damn issue considering what went down not even twenty minutes ago.

The minute Jade called me, everything stopped. She’d sounded upset, and I didn’t know what the hell was happening.

Did Jace figure shit out?

Did some dickhead touch her at the bar she works at?

I didn’t fucking know, and as much as I wanted her to spew it out as fast as she could, I didn’t push for answers. I grabbed my keys, dropped the invoice I’d been working on for Locke & Key Towing, and started making my way outside. As I was trying to figure out which vehicle to take, she finally got to the part of being broken down on the side of the road.

Fifteen minutes later, I’d reached her, on a deserted back road, clearly on her way home from working at the bar, judging by the black top, jean skirt, and canvas sneakers on her feet. I pulled in front of her car and prepared to hook her up in case I couldn’t figure out the problem.

She greeted me with a hesitant smile, told me she couldn’t get her car to shift into second gear without slamming down on the pedal and was pretty sure the transmission is shot to shit. Instead of commenting, I wrapped her up in my arms, kissed the crown of her head, and told her she could take one of the spares I keep at the yard until she got a new set of wheels sorted out.

That led to her kissing me, me lifting her by the back of her legs, and us going at each other like we weren’t wrapped up in one another last night.

“Yes, please.” I shake my head, she lets out a giggle, and I get back to what I was doing, offloading her car at Barlow’s.

“Sit tight. Once I have it offloaded, I’ll walk in with you to see what Colt has to say.” She’s known Colt for years. Hell, everyone has. She can also take care of this without me running interference. Except she doesn’t have to, and I don’t want her to feel like she’s ever alone.

I hop out of the driver’s side, leaving the door open, knowing I’ll be back in it after I make sure my rig is lined up with the parking spot.

“You’re playing with fire, sugar,” I say as Jade slides down the driver’s side of my tow truck behind me. If it weren’t for me standing there, she’d show the world exactly how soft, firm, and bare she is beneath her jean skirt. I’d know because in my pocket is the pair of her panties I managed to snag from the ground before she could locate them. I’ll keep them at my place for safekeeping, and when neither of us can sneak the other in, they’ll be wrapped around my length as I take care of business.

“Who, me?” I can hear the sound of a motorcycle off in the distance, which can only mean one thing: Jace is on his way. How he knows where Jade is, is anyone’s guess, and I can tell you one thing: I’m not looking forward to starting a fight out here in public.

“Jade, you’re the fuel to the fire, and I’m the wood soaking it the hell up.” She tosses her head back, laughing freely, and only stops when she hears the same distinct sound I do.

Prologue

SEVEN YEARS EARLIER

“Any updates?” my dad asks, knocking me out of my living nightmare. I didn’t notice them walking in, so deep in my own thoughts, what the fuck, how the fuck, and who the fuck keeps replaying in my head over and over again.

“The neighbors heard the crash, said they could hear it a mile up the road, sirens blaring, that it was a scene out of a horror movie,” Mom adds. Dad is right beside her when I finally look up. I’d had my head bowed, forearms resting on the top of my thighs while attempting to hide the emotion clogging my throat ever since I’d been updated. Needless to say, my knees fucking buckled so hard I nearly hit the ground.

Whatever they see written on my face must tell them all they need to hear. I stand and start heading their way, meeting them in the middle. Not for the first time am I thankful for the small-town community hospital that’s luckily not packed with people. Especially with the news I’m about to deliver. It’s going to be a devastating blow, having to relay the words the doctors gave me moments ago won’t be easy.

“Kara’s in surgery.” I’d gotten the call first. They didn’t realize who was in the accident until a sheriff knocked on their door. From there, my parents called me, and I dropped everything to get my ass here. They were an hour away, at a dinner and a show in the big city for their anniversary.

“How bad?” Dad asks.

“Shattered femur and hip fracture. The latter will take time to heal. The femur is going to require rods and a plate. She’s got a long road ahead of her that will likely lead to a permanent limp caused by a leg length difference. They’re not sure what all it’ll entail until they see how she heals.” I swallow down the lump in my throat. My sister will recover, she’s strong, but she also wasn’t driving and didn’t receive the impact on her side.

“Christ. What about Brooke?” Mom lets out a gasp when she sees whatever a mother sees on their child’s face. It must be one of inner turmoil, because my guts feel like they're twisted in knots. My heart hasn’t stopped racing, and my world hasn’t stopped spinning.

“She’s—” I take a moment to regain my composure. Mom is going to lose it, so will Dad. And fuck, I already have, which is the reason why my jaw aches from clenching it to keep myself from falling apart. “Brooke is gone, Mom. They worked on her until they couldn’t anymore.” She moves away from Dad and wraps her arms around my waist, not giving a single shit that I’m still in my work clothes and more or less getting grease on her best clothes.

“Both of them?” Dad asks. My eyes are closed, and when a tear slides down my cheek, I don’t bother to wipe it away. Instead, I hold my mom to me. She needs me, and hell if I don’t need her, too.

“They’re working on delivering the baby now.” Mom weeps harder. Dad rocks back on his heels like he received a shot to his chest. Which is entirely the way I’m feeling. My baby could have died and still might not make it. She’s coming five weeks early. Her lungs aren’t fully developed, and there’s a good chance she’ll be in the neonatal intensive care unit for a minimum of a month. While Brooke and I couldn’t make a go of our relationship, it doesn’t hurt any less to know our daughter will live a life without her mom or to know I’ll be doing this alone without her there.

Kara and Brooke were heading to our parents’ home for the night after they spent their evening together. A standing girls' night of sorts, where they’d meet after work, grab a bite to eat, and do what they do best: gab about their day. My relationship with Brooke might not have worked out, but she’d always be a part of our family. We ended things cordially, picked a name out for our daughter, and while the specifics about custody or child support hadn’t been decided, we both knew we’d make it work, no matter what.

Brooke’s family was always a volatile mess. They never talked, pretty much all that ensued was yelling. She didn’t want that, and I’d never live a life where I’d have to relentlessly walk on eggshells. Kara took to her like a built-in sister of sorts, and even if a child hadn’t been involved, they’d still have ended up friends.

What none of us were prepared for was a call like tonight, a head-on collision due to a driver driving the wrong way. The rural area in which my parents live means there aren’t any street lights, so things can get confusing if you’re not from around our parts. And with the snowbirds, along with the influx of tourists, well, it’s sad to say that this isn’t the first time something like this has happened.
