*Max Bennett is a successful man. His analytical mind is an asset to his family’s company.* That’s how I describe myself in my professional bio, at least. Outside the office, I shed the serious persona as fast as I can. Out-Of-Office Max is carefree and fun. I adore being an uncle, and spoiling my nieces rotten. I’m happy with my life. Mom can ask for more grandchildren all she wants, I have no plans to settle down any time soon. Or ever. Then fate tossed Emilia Campbell back into my life. I remembered my childhood best friend as a fun-loving goofball, but now, she’s a sensual woman. A sensual woman with a sick grandmother to care for, someone who could use my friendship more than ever. So all my questions about what could happen between us have to stay secret. I can’t risk ruining the friendship, despite all my dirtiest fantasies. She says her childhood hero-worship for me is over. I swore I wouldn’t turn my panty-melting charm on her. It’s exactly the kind of challenge that makes it inescapable. But once we give in to temptation, can we salvage what we had, or can we find more?
