I’m living under the same roof as my brother’s best friend.

Luke Maddox, my bodyguard, my enemy… and the last man I should want.

When I find my bakery windows smashed and threats scrawled across the walls, I want to believe it’s nothing.
But he—scarred, silent, infuriatingly bossy—says otherwise.

He’s my brother’s best friend.
And now he’s insisting he stay with me until the danger passes.

I don’t want his help.
I don’t want his rules.
And I definitely don’t want to share my space with him.

At first, I hate every second of it—his calm silence, his cool stares, the way he takes over like he owns me.
But then he fixes the broken lock I couldn’t manage, stands guard through the night, and listens when the weight of it all nearly breaks me.

Somewhere between the fights and the fear, I fall for him.
Hard.

And that’s the real problem.

Because if my brother ever finds out I’ve fallen for his best friend, I know all hell will break loose.
