Klappentext

I've spent my life helping people. As a doctor, I know how to stay calm under pressure and keep my focus where it belongs. What I don't know how to do? Ignore Brianne Prescott. She's my best friend's sister-the only girl in a family of sports royalty-and she's learned the hard way that most men don't see her... they see her last name. I'm not most men. The first time I really look at Bri, it hits me: the burden she carries, how guarded she is, how badly she wants someone to choose her for more than her family name and the connections that come with it. When I step in to protect her outside my clinic, something shifts between us. And when she agrees to come with me to New York for a family wedding, the lines I've spent years respecting don't just blur... They burn. Because being close to Bri is pure temptation. She's soft, stubborn, and once she's in my arms... impossible to forget. She thinks I'm the one man who doesn't need anything. And I want to be. The problem? I'm hiding something-a future I've been fighting for, a dream within reach, and a secret that could make her believe I'm no different from every other man who's ever wanted something from her. And she'll have every reason to walk away... Unless I can convince her the only thing I've ever wanted is her. A swoony, spicy brother's-best-friend romance filled with forced proximity, stolen moments, hidden secrets, and a guaranteed happily-ever-after. A Dare Nation novella.
