The Merger

About the book

Crushes can be innocent, right? Well, that's until they involve the older, grumpy, and strictly off-limits brother of your best friend.

In my eyes, Gannon Brewer is the perfect example of the kind of guy I'm attracted to. At least a decade older than me, emotionally distant, and incredibly disagreeable - a clear warning sign dressed in a fancy suit. But do I pay any attention to those red flags? Of course not. In fact, when I notice his office plants wilting, I convince myself that I can resist his charm and revive the philodendron instead.

Now, I find myself visiting his office regularly, trying to avoid his teasing smirks and intense gazes, reminding myself to focus on watering the plants - not on him. However, a single incident involving ivy changes everything. Suddenly, we're sneaking around, indulging in a forbidden affair that was supposed to be just for fun.

He swears he won't fall in love, and I promise that all I want is a good time, no strings attached. But the closer we become, the more blurred the lines get, making it difficult to keep our initial intentions...

Especially when the secret I'm hiding threatens to destroy everything we've built.
