Description

He's your brother's best friend, the one person who's completely off-limits, and the only one you've ever wanted. Maddox has been a fixture in your life for as long as you can remember, an extension of your own family. But somewhere between the shared family dinners and late-night movie marathons, the boy you grew up with became a man whose gaze now lingers on you for a second too long, setting your skin on fire. The air crackles with unspoken electricity whenever you're in the same room. It's in the way his knuckles brush yours when he passes you a drink, the low timbre of his voice when he says your name, and the heated stares you share across the living room when you think no one is looking. But your brother, Owen, is fiercely protective, and betraying that trust is unthinkable—for both of you. You're trapped in an intoxicating limbo, dancing around a truth that could either give you everything or shatter the most important relationships in your life. He won't make the first move, and you're terrified to. How long can you both pretend this fire doesn't exist before it consumes you both?
