Summary

Jackson Anderson

He's always been the responsible one. The reliable one. The guy who doesn't screw up—until her. Maya is his sister's best friend and the one woman he should never touch. She's wild, unpredictable, and exactly what he never knew he needed. Now he's lying to his own family just to keep her close.

Maya Rivera

She's drowning, and has been for months. Falling into bed with Jackson wasn't smart, but it was the best decision she's ever made. He's steady where she's messy, quiet where she's loud. What started as an arrangement to help her heal turned serious fast, and now she's hiding the one good thing in her life from the person who's always been her safe place.

Falling for each other was never part of the plan.

But neither was playing defense with their hearts on the line.
