Unspoken Heat

For years, Freya Lawson has known two things: Her best friend, Sophia, has an overprotective older brother, Jack Donovan. And Jack has never looked at her as anything but Sophia's tag-along friend.

That is, until one impulsive kiss at a wedding changes everything.

Freya and Jack are complete opposites-she's fiery, spontaneous, and always looking for her next adventure, while Jack is a composed, no-nonsense tech CEO with a habit of keeping his emotions locked up. But that one kiss? It sets off a slow-burning tension neither of them can ignore.

The problem? Sophia has one rule-her brother is strictly off-limits. She's seen too many friendships crumble over messy relationships, and she refuses to let it happen to them.

Determined to keep their undeniable attraction a secret, Freya and Jack attempt to keep things casual. Stolen moments, hidden glances, and whispered phone calls become their norm. But the more they try to suppress their feelings, the harder they fall.

When an unexpected weekend getaway traps them in close quarters, the lines blur beyond repair. Their chemistry is undeniable, their connection deeper than either expected-but when Sophia finds out, they risk losing her forever.

Now, Jack must decide: will he fight for the woman he never saw coming, or let his fear of breaking his sister's trust keep them apart?

And will Freya take the risk... even if it means losing the only family she's ever had?
