Forbidden Play

DISCREET COVER

NOELLE:

Rule #1: Don't fall for your brother's best friend.

Rule #2: Definitely don't fake date him.

Rule #3: Absolutely don't let him teach you how to be intimate when you barely know what you like.

Yeah... I've broken every rule.

Matt Stricker kisses like the kiss is the entire story.

He listens. He pays attention.

And oh, those smoldering eyes set my insides on fire.

And there's one more rule I screwed up:

Rule #4: Don't get pregnant.

Too late.

I'm having my ex's baby.

And Matt is starting to figure it out.

Part of me wants to keep my secret tucked under the sheets

and let him keep teaching me what it feels like to be wanted-really wanted.

Once he knows for sure, will he keep pretending or walk away?

MATT:

Noelle O'Ryan is the one line I swore I'd never cross.

My best friend's little sister and way too young for an old ball coach like me.

My life is about discipline.

Determination.

Commitment.

Loyalty.

All of which I've thrown out the window.

But she keeps asking me to teach her what she's never learned.

And I want to teach her everything.

Give her everything.

Every night.

But she doesn't know the battles I face every day.

The warning signs I ignore.

I want to be the man she and that baby can count on.

But I can't be that man when I don't have enough tomorrows to give her the life she deserves, which is exactly why I never have more than one date.

Noelle needs more than I can offer long term.

Are we one forbidden play away from losing it all?
