A new standalone novel from New York Times bestselling author Kendall Ryan. Paige finds herself getting more than she bargained for when her best friend's flirty brother crashes at her apartment, stirring up new feelings and a very tempting offer. ***** The last time Paige saw her best friend's younger brother, Cannon, he was a shy and studious teenager. But when he shows up to crash in her spare room, she gets a swift reality check. Now 24, he's tall, muscular and beyond sexy, nothing like the boy in Paige's memory-and more of a temptation than she expected. Unlucky in love, (but skilled in the art of romance) Cannon is fresh out of a messy breakup and doesn't want any entanglements. But when he claims his superpower is making any woman who sleeps with him fall madly in love, Paige is more than ready to prove him wrong. Until she realizes that maybe this is a bet she actually doesn't mind losing. [[Word count: 60,000 - 70,000]]
