He’s a Texas player with a red-hot career and her best friend’s ‘baby brother.’ Definitely off-limits, right?
Donovan Hawthorne is the golden boy of the Houston oil and gas industry, a self-made powerhouse who walked away from his family’s legacy to carve his own path. Charming, successful, and infamously noncommittal, Donovan has built a reputation as a man who plays hard—both in the c-suite and in situationships.
Entrepreneur Jaymes Bandeaux has always played by the rules. For half her life, she’s harbored an unwavering and unrequited love for Donovan that she’s buried under layers of loyalty, fear of getting hurt, and knowing that if she acts on her feelings or lust, she risks far more than her heart.
But when a family emergency pulls Donovan back into the Hawthorne orbit and Jaymes’ daily life, their worlds collide. Donovan needs her help. Seeing him vulnerable cracks her steely resolve, especially when he looks at her with a scorching desire she’s utterly unprepared to fight.
As family secrets surface and personal ambitions clash, Jaymes and Donovan must decide: is love worth risking everything?
My Review:
Friends to lovers with all the “feels”.
Should he, or shouldn’t he? Donovan Hawthorne had been in love with Jaymes Bandeaux for a long time. But Jaymes was his sister’s best friend and already considered part of the family. Donovan didn’t want to ruin the family dynamics by making a move on Jaymes. But when Donovan’s father has a stroke and Donovan and Jaymes are teamed up together to work on a charity event, there is a lot of temptation, but the risk of giving in is too high to take. I couldn’t get enough of this book. I enjoyed seeing how they found their way to lasting love.
