"A sizzling hot and sexy page-turner."

Mallory, Layla, Reilly and Jack are best friends. The three women agreed their gorgeous buddy was off-limits. But, Mallory couldn't help it and found herself in a red- hot relationship she and Jack had to keep secret. There's only one problem: Jack wants to openly see Mallory. He wants more than just great sex with her. But, Mallory's not ready for that big of a step. She wants to keep everything secret. So Jack tells her there's no sex until they come clean and confess everything to Layla and Reilly. It's an ultimatum Jack finds hard to keep because Mallory does everything in her power to seduce him. The bottom line is Jack loves Mallory.

Mallory is more concerned about her career as a film producer than she is about having a real relationship with Jack. She gets caught up in a twenty-five-year-old unsolved murder. She's also just about out of funds. She doesn't have enough money to buy coffee let alone get her car fixed. Layla, Reilly and Jack present Mallory with a check telling her they're investing in her career. Mallory's touched. But, she still won't fess up to her two best girlfriends. Along the way, Mallory learns what's really important in life. There's also a little bit of suspense in this story, and it has a surprise ending that I'm keeping secret.

Tori Carrington brings together two of romances most important elements... a great storyline and hot and sexy love scenes. She takes an old story and gives it a new twist—a guy who wants more than a sexual relationship; a guy who learns about sex with love. The role reversal makes for a very interesting story that should keep you wondering right up until the very last page. If you liked Friends Monica and Chandler twist, you'll love this story. There's something fresh and unique in Carrington's writing that draws you into the story. It is a story where you will find real people with real hopes and dreams, real ups and downs. Put this red-hot read on your things to do list. You won't be sorry.

Summary

When Mallory, Layla, Reilly and Jack became best friends, the three women agreed that their tall, gorgeous male buddy was off limits.

Only little does she realize that their blazing secret love affair is quickly burning out of control...

Nothing can describe how good Jack feels with Mallory hot and wanting in his arms. But illicit sex just isn't cutting it for him anymore. Jack wants to bring their relationship out from under the covers. Mallory, however, likes keeping him—and everybody else—in the dark. Still, with the heat the two of them generate, something is bound to be exposed soon. And Jack can only hope its Mallory...
