I never meant to accidentally date my brother’s best friend. Brody Shepard has been Star Harbor’s golden boy for as long as I can remember. Decorated police officer and all-around sexiest man alive, it’s taken years to get over my girlhood crush. Trouble is, my brother Hayes might actually be cursed. The ghost stories in our small town run wild, but there’s no denying that when it comes to epic bad luck, my brother wins the prize. It’s why I was determined to set him up with the perfect woman.

For that, I needed Brody’s help. Together, we could increase my brother’s happiness and prove to him that he isn’t really cursed. But all our spying and conspiring meant late night talks, dinner reservations to check on him, and a few too many accidental touches.

Touches that start to feel a little too real. I know better than to fall for Brody’s cocky charm, smoldering looks, and affable humor. Besides, he’d never cross that line with me . . . right? But the more we work together, the more lines are crossed and boundaries blurred. Our lifelong friendship started to change. Now we’re both making excuses to spend time together. Whispered secrets turn into secret touches. Soon, I learn all too quickly that the girlhood fantasy I’d thought I’d cut down just might be in full bloom.
