Some lines are never meant to be crossed—and sleeping with her boss’s brother is at the top of Charlie Huxton’s list.
For six years, she’s flirted with Arno McCallister and fought the pull of desire, mastering her self-control like a pro. But one unexpected night—where vulnerability overshadows everything—and suddenly Arno, the infamous playboy, steps into the role of protector.
Even then, Charlie might’ve walked away… until she quits her job and the last professional boundary between them disappears.
With one month at a remote Norwegian resort before she leaves her dream job behind, Charlie is determined to make Arno her final indulgence. No strings, no regrets—just a perfect goodbye.
Arno has never done relationships and never wanted to, content to move from woman to woman. Untouched and unattached. But seeing Charlie crack open changes everything. She claims she only wants sex—nothing more—and that should make things simple.
But nothing about Charlie is simple anymore. Brick by brick, she dismantles every reason he has to keep his distance.
She wants a hookup. He wants it all. So what happens when the one who never commits decides he wants forever?
