Gabby’s
been hopelessly in love with her best friend Owen for what feels like forever,
but playing his "fake" girlfriend when the entire boisterous Burnett
clan visits is easier said than done. The more she tries to deny the attraction
between them, the more obvious their chemistry becomes. But even though she's
not the only one feeling it, putting their friendship on the line is a risk she
can’t take.

He
rolled to his side, once again adjusting his arm so he could prop himself up on
his elbow. His other hand moved to Gabby’s waist, stroking the skin that had
been taunting him for the past two nights. He could see the shine of her eyes
in the dark. He felt her against him, everywhere. Her scent curled inside him.
She was part of him and he hadn’t taken any time to realize what that actually
meant.
“Owen?”
Her voice was a whisper.
“There
isn’t anything about you I would change.” He wanted to say more. He wanted to
say the words that were tumbling inside his brain and his heart, words he’d
held back or buried. But right in that moment, he wanted something more.
Bringing
his hand to her face, he smoothed his thumb across her lips. He heard, felt, her breath quicken as he inched
closer, until looking into her eyes began to consume him and he had to let his
own close. His mouth touched hers—not for show or because anyone expected it,
but because he needed to kiss her, needed to trace her lips with his tongue and
memorize the taste of her. Of Gabby.
Her
hand moved up his chest, around the back of his neck and into his hair where
her fingers gripped, tightened, like she was afraid he’d get away. There was
absolutely nowhere he’d rather be. Using his tongue and his teeth along the
column of her neck as he’d wanted to earlier, his fingers drifted down,
lowering the strap of her tank top. He nipped at her jaw, trailing kisses back
up to her ear, telling her she was perfect.
She
was everything. She was his.
How
the hell could he have missed this? And how would they ever go back to the way
it had been before?
