one bed and my brother's best mateIt’s been zero days since I realized I’m in love with Leander Knight.
Lee, or Knightley as everyone calls him, is my brother’s best mate, and he’s always treated me like his kid sister. Okay, so he might not put cockroaches in my lunchbox and lizards down my neck anymore, but even though we work together every day at Hartfield Wildlife Hospital, he’s never seemed interested in me in that way. And then something changed. Maybe it was when I walked past him in my bikini, and he lost the power of speech. Or perhaps it was when I found out that an old girlfriend nicknamed him Twice Knightley, and I realized she wasn’t referring to his appetite for food. A switch flicked in my brain, and now I can’t stop thinking about him in a very un-brotherly way. So far, I’ve kept it to myself. But today my sister married her childhood sweetheart. I arrived at the hotel to discover they’d no reference to my booking. So Knightley invited me into his room. First we drank the contents of the minibar. Then we played strip poker. The idea was that the loser took the sofa, and the winner got the bed. And that’s where the problems started. * A small-town, friends-to-lovers, steamy contemporary romance by USA Today bestselling author Serenity Woods. |
