—————

“Be careful,” he had warned her, in his stern, controlled voice as if he was talking to a child. And did she listen?

Nope.

Instead, she had gotten drunk and landed herself in bed with the man of her dreams. Making steamy sex with the hottest man around.

The only problem: He was the wrong man.

As the lights come on, Ava finds herself staring into the dark and angry eyes of his much older brother. And he’s seriously pissed off. Probably because she screamed his brother’s name while she climaxed.

That explains why he was somewhat… uhm… reluctant, when she crawled into his bed.

But why did he accept it? Why did he make love to her when he realised who she was? Could he have some real feelings for her?

Nevertheless, he hates her guts and she's staying the hell away from him. End of story.

Until she finds out that he’s her new boss and she can’t stop fantasising about him.

Has she gone for the wrong brother all along?

Excerpt:

“So good looks is the most important feature in a man?” he asked icily.

“No, I didn’t say that. I was using another part of my body when I came to that conclusion.”

He roamed his eyes over her body, letting his eyes rest on her breasts for a moment too long. She could feel her heart rate jump as he seemed to judge her the same way he would judge a racehorse before he started bidding for it. Ooh my, she thought. Where had that idea come from?

She had better stop at once and rein in her stupid thoughts. This was Damon, the parent-substitute. Always treating her like a silly child instead of the grown woman that she had become.

“Don’t forget to use your brain when choosing a man, Ava.”

“I’m not a teenager, Damon.”

“I know that. But you can still do stupid mistakes that cannot be undone.“

“Yes, yes, Damon. I’m behaving. Just watch me.”

Ava grinned at him, feeling the buzz from the alcohol reduce her nerves in front of his stern look.

“Too much alcohol can lead you to a pity f*ck instead of the one you want.”

“You’re not my brother, Damon. I’ll do what I want.”

“I can still put you over my knee if you do something stupid,” he said in a voice that sounded like a warning.

She retreated a few steps and laughed at his words. She lifted her finger and waved it in front of him as if to say ‘No’.

“Ha! You will never dare to do such a thing, Damon, so it’s no use giving empty threats.”

“Just keep that in mind, and we won’t have to find out what I dare or not.”
