He’s a billionaire playboy and my brother’s best friend. Hating him was easy. Working for him was complicated. Falling for him was against all the rules.

I knew stepping into the COO role at Carlson Enterprises would be challenging.

I didn’t expect the biggest challenge to be Doug Carlson himself—billionaire heir who’d rather paint than run the family empire, and my brother’s absolutely off-limits best friend.

I’ve always thought he was nothing but trouble and my overprotective brother had only one rule for Doug: that his sister was completely off-limits.

I’ve worked too hard for my MBA to let my brother’s infamous playboy friend derail my career.

Sure, Doug’s gorgeous, talented, and not quite the shallow heir I expected, but giving in to our steamy chemistry would mean risking both my career and my brother’s oldest friendship.

When one heated moment turns into an incredibly passionate night, we discover that mixing business with pleasure can destroy more than just careers.

Now we’re gambling with hearts, friendships—and a future with two sweet, tiny treasures we never expected.
