Scarlet Ellis - 2018
My brother’s best friend Lucas is in the same pro football team as him and when Lucas got badly injured during a game, my mom wanted ME to come and babysit him. Sorry, did I say babysit? I meant look after! Lucas has been an almost permanent fixture in our house for as long as I can remember. We seem to constantly bicker about stupid stuff but the thing is, I can’t help but notice the man he has become. I pray for another hot summer day when he might grace our house shirtless again. With sweat beading down his body, I swear I never felt so tempted to lick a man. The last time that happened, the sight of his body gave me something to dream about. The thing is that I’m not even slightly domesticated, I have no idea how I’m supposed to look after an injured football player, but I do know one thing. I probably shouldn’t have walked into the bathroom that day. With Lucas dressed in nothing but a teeny towel, it was probably always going to spell out trouble. Warning, this story involves a steamy shower scene, a lovable but possessive alpha football player and romance that will make your heart pound! This is book 1 in the Family Ties Series.
