Maria is the perfect girl-the kind of girl men dream of but rarely find. Since arriving in the States from Russia three years ago, she has been Noah's world: brilliant, breathtakingly loyal, and utterly devoted. For Noah, life is simple: there is Maria, and there's Anthony. Anthony is more than a BSF; he's the brother. Their bond forged over years of secrets and support. But when Anthony confesses something that's been stripping away his confidence-he's a virgin and terrified of failing the new girl he's been talking to-Noah's loyalty takes a dark, experimental turn. He would do anything to help Anthony find his footing. Even if it means bringing Maria into the equation for a lesson no one will forget. It was supposed to be clinical. Anthony could learn the details of a woman's body from someone Noah trusts completely. But Noah doesn't just step aside. He stays. He watches. He becomes the architect of Anthony's awakening, coaching his BSF through every intimate moment. But the moment the first lesson begins, the plan starts to shatter. The girl Anthony was trying to impress is forgotten. In her place is Maria-a woman who discovers that being the center of two men's attention, and being "shared" by the person she loves most, awakens a hunger she never knew she even had. As Anthony moves from hesitant student to a man who knows exactly how to make Maria come apart, Noah finds himself caught in a spiral he didn't expect. Instead of jealousy, he feels a twisted sense of pride-and a deepening obsession with the way his best friend is worshiping his girlfriend. The boundaries of their three-year relationship haven't just been crossed; they've been set on fire.

But when a massive gas leak turns her twin brother Alejandro's apartment building into a hazard zone, her sanctuary is invaded. Alejandro doesn't just ask for a place to crash-he moves himself and his two best friends, Elijah and Matthew, into Alejandra's tiny dorm room. The arrangement is a disaster from day one. Alejandra is beyond pissed; her privacy is gone, and her brother is as overprotective as ever. On the other side of the room, Elijah and Matthew aren't thrilled either.

When a girl gets a complete makeover, the hot guy is supposed to start liking her. Not Forrest Stephens. He merely gave me a once-over, said "nice outfit", and walked right past me. Maybe being his friend was the problem. But now that other guys started noticing me, he's gotten protective-demanding I don't date them without his permission, and touching me in ways that makes everyone think I'm off-limits. · · ─ ·✶· ─ · · "Spencer," his caress over my name brought the smallest blush, the events of last night flashing through my mind like a movie. His knuckles brushed my cheek. Angling his head, he studied me, eyes narrowing in a way that was uncomfortably critical. "You're blushing," he noted. He was so close I caught a whiff of his wintergreen gum. In that moment I wanted to disappear. "I'm not," I denied. "You are," he countered, leaning in. "Your cheeks are pink. You're not into me-are you?" 𝚃𝚘𝚙 𝚁𝚊𝚗𝚔𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚜: #1 𝚓𝚎𝚊𝚕𝚘𝚞𝚜𝚢 #1 𝚙𝚕𝚊𝚢𝚎𝚛 **WARNING: I WROTE THIS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL. ONLY REVISED FOR READABILITY.**
