Synopsis
Nic If it isn’t a cardinal rule to never fall for your brother’s fiancée’s best friend, it should be. This was supposed to be easy. We just needed to plan a memorable Vegas trip for the joint bachelor and bachelorette parties. I mean, really, what could go wrong? Well, basically everything. From the tight little outfits to the unbridled excitement over the smallest things, I was captivated by Claire Nettles. The problem is, she is a “forever” type of girl, when all I can offer is a “for now.” Claire Anything of value in this life takes hard work. I just never expected planning a wedding with my bestie’s future brother-in-law, Nic Hoffman, would be this challenging. And by challenging, I really mean utterly horrible. He’s the worst. Egotistical. Unapologetic. And ridiculously attractive… The problem is, I’m taken. And no matter how hard I try to keep our interactions platonic, Nic blurs the lines and inflames a passion in me to strive for something— someone —better. Can we set aside our differences and join forces for a common goal, or will our toxic desire cause the entire effort to blow up in our faces? This book is intended for mature audiences and consists of the two-part Toxic Desire duet that should be read in order.
