Would you be willing to make a mess of your life to get exactly what you want? Kylie Lord has known Trent Moss and Dray Savage since college. Trent, the smart and kind-hearted humanitarian has had her heart from the moment they met, but someone else always had his. Dray is an arrogant professional football player who happens to be Trent’s best friend and Kylie’s nemesis “with benefits.” Three years after graduation, Kylie is commanding the world with a successful business; however, she lacks the one thing she wants and the one thing she can never have. That is, until one fateful day when Kylie decides to go after all of her forbidden fantasies and risk everything. Two men, completely different and poles apart, but together they are her idea of perfection. One can only offer her tonight and the other forever, but can Kylie settle for just one man, or can she have her cake and eat it too?

And for the record, that is not how it went down. I needed to get back to make sure that Dray was okay. When I was standing in the waiting room, I overheard the doctor asking for Dray’s family, and I panicked thinking something was wrong.” My voice trails off when I realize how dumb the situation sounds. “Listen, I wouldn’t

I’m going to have to start a save the va-jay-jay campaign.” I jokingly reply, making Tamara laugh. Looking at me, Madison says, “Kylie Lord, you are a jealous little ‘ho’.” Turning to walk outside, she calls, “Later, my bitches,” as she tries to pinch my chest on the way out. I slap her hand away, “Go find Long Duc Dong to
can’t happen, Kylie. Not anymore. It’s the deal I made with Trent. I can’t go back on it, as much as I might want to.” His eyes show such dark torment that I have to look away. We stand close together, but it’s no different than being ten thousand miles apart. Seeing that he is hurting as much as me doesn’t make me feel better; it makes me feel worse. I want to heal him, but I can’t. I want to touch him, but I won’t. “Kylie,” he says, lifting his beautiful, strong brown hand, to touch me.
