Tempted by his charm.
Addicted to knowing I shouldn't.
Wrecked     because he's my best friend's younger brother.
Mack Crosby is the epitome of a playboy - good looking, rugged, and the life of the party.
Or saloon.
He's a flirt and while I'll indulge in some banter, my best friend's younger brother is off limits.
But since my last - bad - relationship ended I can't help but notice Mack     everywhere    .
In town. At work.
And most notably my living room - shirtless - that's not all.
The way he's looking at me sends my heart into a sprint, the tension that's been building between us suddenly at a breaking point.
Getting involved with Mack is the last thing I should be doing but I can't deny the way I feel when he's around.
A storm.
A rescue.
And a line that can't be uncrossed.
I just hope I'm strong enough to withstand the fallout when my best friend finds out.
