A Best Friend’s Brother Romance

Two silent promises. One cabin in Sweden. How long before they break?

A best friend’s brother, friends-to-lovers, age gap romance with found family at its heart. Slow burn, full of banter, and unapologetically spicy when the tension finally breaks.

My name’s Luke Matthews, and I’m a thirty-eight-year-old playboy in love with my sister’s best friend. Yep. That’s me. Tragic, right?
People see me as just this guy who doesn’t take life too seriously, treats women like buses—hop off one, and another comes along. But with her, it’s different. She cuts through the noise, the crap. She sees me. And I want her. More than anything. But we can’t be together. I can’t have her. So why did I risk my job trying to make it to this family trip to Sweden… knowing she’d be there?

My name’s Riley Bell, and I’m a thirty-year-old quiet girl in love with my best friend’s brother.
The guy I’ve measured every man against. And no one’s come close. But I can’t tell him. He doesn’t see me like that. And I’m so woven into his family that I don’t even know how it’d work. But I want him. More than anything. And this family trip to Sweden with him is going to kill me.
