This is the second book in the Russian Roulette series. It can be read independently, though it will make a lot more sense if you've read Russian Roulette: Family secrets first.
It's a grumpy x sunshine - friends to lovers story about overcoming trauma, body positivity, and sexual acceptance with an ND lead.
Please read the introduction chapter before venturing into reading this book!
***
On the day of their wedding, Jace and Phoenix look back on everything leading up to the day when they finally say 'I do'.
In flashbacks, they remember over a decade of events in their lives that shaped their love for each other. Events that took them from colleagues to lovers, and formed them into men ready for a life together.
The friendship.
The parties.
The steamy nights.
The misunderstandings and insecurities.
The heartaches.
The longing.
The demons from their pasts, threatening to tear them apart.
A story of friendship, brotherhood, and love.

This story is a man x man (gay love) story and contains gay sex, explicit language, BDSM, and triggering subjects such as violence, drugs, non-con, and abuse. All described in graphic detail. Read at your own discretion!
My Best Friends Brother - Book Three in The Forbidden Lust Series
"You're my best friends little brother Milo, we can't do this."
Looking at me with those f**king gorgeous pale hazel eyes, I know I can't keep holding back from him for much longer, this pull dragging me towards him is too strong. He steps in even closer, his coffee stained breath mixing with my own until the taste of him is all that coats my tongue.
"I'm not a kid anymore Josh.."
Joshua Jones, everyone's favourite best friend. Losing the love of his life ten years ago meant one thing for him - surrendering to a life alone. Instead he chose to focus on the family he built for himself, channelling all he had into making sure they were all happy, even if he wasn't.
Coming back after a few years away from Westbrooke, not too much has changed; everyone was carrying on with their lives, while he stays stagnant. They were having kids, getting married, running businesses... Josh doesn't even have someone to kiss goodnight. He's okay though, really, or so he thought...
Until he finds out something definitely has changed - Milo Thompson.
The once shy geeky little brother of his best friend is no longer the child he once knew, that right there is a damn man. A man that he shouldn't be drawn too..
A forbidden man...
Throw in a crazy teenage sister, overly involved best friend, sexuality confusion, hot business rival, evil ex-sister in-law/fathers mistress and all your favourite psycho's from our original Westbrooke tales....
Then ladies and gentlemen, we have got ourselves a story.
