A spicy forbidden romance, featuring a struggling, yet determined, heroine who lost her fiancé and his millionaire best friend who presents her with a life-changing offer.

Losing her fiancé, Duncan, a year ago changed August. Not only is her dream of becoming a romance author fading fast, she's exhausted from trying to keep the home that she and Duncan shared. She never writes anymore and hates her waitressing job, but she can't afford to lose it. Her life has never been such a mess. It's not what she imagined for herself at thirty-two years old. Not even close.

When Luke, her dead fiance's best friend, comes back into town after staying away for years, he apologizes to August for not being there when Duncan died. He's intent on making it up to her and asks her to do something that could change her life. And his.

Will August say yes and let Luke take care of her financially so she can write her novel even though she's still angry at him and it means sharing his enormous ocean front home? Or will guilt and her flicker of attraction for Luke keep her away?
