Having It All

He's the charming playboy who keeps everyone laughing. She's the survivor who refuses to let anyone derail her hard fought life.

Josh Hardwick's life looks pretty damn good. He lives with his best friends, runs a gourmet food truck, and spends his nights hooking up with every eligible woman in D.C..

What no one sees is how hard he works to hide his dyslexia-or how much it's holding him back from taking his business to the next level. The last thing he needs is another complication.

Especially one as tempting-and off-limits-as Annabeth Vasquez.

Annabeth Vasquez wears combat boots because life is a war zone and she damn well intends to be a survivor. After clawing her way out of poverty, she's finally landed an amazing new job, and failure is not an option. So being distracted by Josh's playboy moves is definitely out of the question.

The new job puts her in the middle of his circle of rich, educated friends. Annabeth can't believe they accept her--or that Josh wants her. Dating a player always ends badly, and Annabeth can't risk losing her job. No matter how well Josh kisses...

So Josh proposes a solution: test-drive a relationship.

No promises. No expectations. Just a chance to finally give in to the chemistry they've been fighting.

Friends to lovers. Reformed playboy. Off-limits attraction. Two people with complicated pasts who might discover that sometimes the safest choice is finally taking a chance on each other.
