How do you politely refuse when the only guy to star in any of
your dirty fantasies have just offered to put you up for the foreseeable future
and your brother’s just accepted like you were in fact still thirteen and
couldn’t make decisions for yourself? You don’t. And, you end up with a roommate who wears a very good elegant mask over the rough and tumble, bad boy
core I remember far too well.
Only, it’s ten years later and I’m even nerdier than I used to
be. It’s ten years later and I couldn’t look worse. It’s ten years later and I
can’t keep one guy. It’s ten years later and my brother still teases me
mercilessly in front of him. It’s ten years later and Kit somehow looks even
better than the guy I spent my formative years crushing on.
So, there’s not only the issue that he’s my older brother’s best
friend, but also a sex-god this virgin can barely talk to. But that certainly
never stopped me from drooling over him and it wouldn’t stop me now. He’s so
far out of my league, I wouldn’t even clean in his league.
Except, there might just be a smoldering heat in Kit’s eyes
that suggests he’s not quite as out of my league as I thought. Just maybe, this
geek is about to get a whole lot of chaos.
Kit
When I find out about my best mate’s little sister’s situation,
the offer is out of my mouth before I can stop it; Hawk’s like a brother to me
even if Amber’s never looked twice at me. I could never tell if she was scared
of me or hated me. But the deal is done. She’s going to bring her bedraggled
self upstairs to my penthouse and live with me for as long as she needs.
I see the pain she hides away, I see the lack of confidence
despite how smart she is, how good. If there’s something I’ve learned, it’s
that confidence makes all the difference. So, it becomes my mission to help
Amber finds her confidence. But I find more than confidence in her and suddenly
I’m seeing my best mate’s little sister completely differently.
I’ve never known what to say to her. She’s always been good and
studious and sweet. She’s always been so far out of my league I wouldn’t even
carry bags in that league. Her face is a mask that tells me nothing in between
the sparse words that come out of her mouth.
Except, there might be something in the way she smiles at me
that gives me hope I’m not as far out of her league as I thought. It might just
be time that this chaos gets a little geek.
We found each other’s eyes again and I wasn’t sure exactly what
I saw in his, but I could see something had changed him. There was pain deep
inside now where before there’d only been…emptiness and a different sort of
pain. Before they’d left, Kit had been trying to find his place in the world.
Now he looked like he’d found it, but the truth was much too real.
She looked amazing and my breath was completely knocked out of
me. Don’t get me wrong, there was nothing wrong with the oversized jumpers and
the jeans. Amber had a way of pulling those off with that sweet geeky-chic that
gave new meaning to the term sexy librarian. But there was something about the
look of complete confidence on her face.
Leah
I didn’t belong in their world, but I made a good show of
pretending I did. Mother and Father expected it. All I wanted to do was get a
cozy cottage in the suburbs and live with my million cats. What I got instead
was suitor after suitor paraded in front of me and the threat of a looming
engagement. So, what else was a girl to do?
After bumping into Mrs. Fortescue’s ‘companion’ one too many
times, I decided he’d do. Mother and Father wanted an engagement? They’d get
one. Except I’d be the one having the last laugh because Patrick is the total
opposite of what my parents want in a son-in-law – his nickname is Hawk for
goodness’ sake – and I have no obligations to him in any department.
But of course, the best-laid plans make fools of us all and it’s
not long before I want him to hold me accountable only to him in EVERY
department. There’s just the small problem of him being completely unsuitable
and without any inclination to settle down.
If there’s one thing I know about men, it’s that it takes a
remarkable woman to tame them. I know I’m a remarkable woman. I only hope it’s
not too late for this lady to tame her hawk.
Patrick
If there’s one thing that makes a guy reconsider his womanizing
ways, it’s seeing his best mate and his little sister settle down. If there’s
another, it’s a gorgeous woman in a stunning red dress. But she’s a part of a
world I can only pretend to fit into and she’s a damned lady – elegant and
sophisticated – and she’s totally off-limits to a grunt like me.
Every time we meet, there’s a look in her eyes that suggests
she’s far less sophisticated than she’d have me believe. And it’s not long
before this hawk is close to begging to relinquish his freedom, even just for
one night. So, how could I say no when she needed my help? I was expertly
qualified to serve, and if I got to be myself for once that was just icing.
But the more time I spend with her, the more I want to be around
her. The more it feels less like a job and more like something real. There’s
just the small problem of her being an heiress with obligations that don’t
include me and the job will only last so long.
I don’t know a lot about ladies, despite my remarkable ability
to play a part. All I know is there’s always more underneath the mask, and
there’s only one lady who can tame this hawk.
