Description

He was always the one you weren't supposed to want—your best friend's older brother, completely off-limits. Asher Monroe was a ghost story in your childhood, a moody shadow who was always too old, too quiet, too gone. Now, he's back for the summer, and the boy you vaguely remember has been replaced by a man built of quiet intensity and lean muscle, with eyes that seem to see right through you. You tell yourself it's nothing, the way your breath catches when he enters a room. You tell yourself you don't notice the way his gaze lingers on you when he thinks no one is looking. But there's a dangerous current humming between you, a truth that threatens the most important friendship in your life. He’s his sister's protector, the rock of his family, and you're her best friend. That makes you the one line he swore he'd never cross, and the one temptation that might just make him break his own rules.
