The Crush

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone, second-chance story of forbidden love... Its natural to want the one you cant have. And for as long as I could remember, Id secretly wanted my brothers best friend, Jace.He was six years older and always treated me like the sister he never had.Fast forward a decade.We were all in our twenties now. Jace had moved in with my brother, Nathan, and me to help us make ends meet after our parents died.It was just the three of us-an odd family dynamic.Living under our roof, Jace was as bossy and protective as ever.But he certainly didnt look at me like a sister anymore. That was what made things so complicated.I was pretty much hot and bothered twenty-four-seven.And he was torn.The signs were subtle, at first. Like on movie night, Id casually rest my leg against his, and he wouldnt exactly shift away.Still, I assumed he would never...go there.Nathan would kill us.The knowledge of that wasnt enough to stop the inevitable, though.Eventually our slow burn exploded.But more than the physical attraction, wed developed a strong connection.We just couldnt get caught, right?That sounded simple.Until it wasnt.This is a story of forbidden love, broken trust, and an unexpected second chance.
