Blurb
He’s my brother’s best friend and I have a plan to seduce him that will blow his mind...
Jefferson Evian has been my brother’s best friend since we were kids. He’s hot, funny, and totally out of my reach. Some might even say he’s forbidden to me. All because of my overprotective and bossy older brother.
I’ve tried flirting with Jeff on and off throughout the years, but he’s always remained elusive. Until now. Now I’m ready to make him mine. I don’t care if my brother won’t let me date him or if my best friend can’t stand him.
I have a plan that should help me win Jeff’s heart once and for all and it all starts with a sexy hookup.
Chapter 1
Betsy
I cursed the day that the Canyon Beach Lingerie shop opened.
Not just because I spent money I didn’t have there. And not just because I’d bought a pair of red crotchless panties that were unlike anything I’d ever seen before; lacy, see-through, with a huge hole you-know-where, they had to be the sexiest piece of underwear that I’d ever owned. And not even because I thought it would be a good idea to leave said sexy panties on Police Officer Jefferson Evian’s desk when I went to the police station this morning to deliver cupcakes.
No, those weren’t all the reasons why I cursed the day that I’d ever stepped foot inside the lingerie shop. The biggest reason was that not only had I left the “anonymous package” on the wrong desk in the police station, but Deputy Sheriff, Max Fernandes had seen me leaving it and opened it before I’d been able to slip out of the station with my empty cupcake containers.
“Hey, Betsy!” he yelled across the busy room, drawing the attention of not one, not two, not three, but seven different police officers. “You left something here by mistake.” He then let out a loud whistle and held the panties up for everybody to see. “Betsy Montgomery, what have you left for me?” He walked toward me with a swagger I’d only seen in cowboy movies and then stopped with a twinkling light in his hazel eyes.
“It was a joke,” I mumbled as I looked down, my face aflame. “And it wasn’t even for you,” I said under my breath.
“What did you say?” He leaned forward. “I couldn’t hear that last part.”
“Nothing.” I shook my head quickly. “It was a joke. Julia Gilbert put me up to it.” I felt only slightly guilty about mentioning my best friend. She’d made me do so many incredibly immature things when we were teenagers that adding this to the pile didn’t seem so bad. It didn’t even faze me that we were long past the age of teenage dares.
“Oh, Jules …” I could see him thinking over the information, and then he nodded. “She always was immature.” He sighed. “Well, you should take these back. You really shouldn’t be leaving these sorts of things hanging around. You might give someone the wrong idea.”
“Someone like who?” I said, but I didn’t wait for an answer. I grabbed the panties and ran out of the station before Jeff showed up. That would make this embarrassing situation even worse. I already knew that he would find out because this was Canyon Beach and everyone knew everyone’s business. I would bet twenty dollars that Max was already texting his friends about my little dare, and I knew that my brother Nolan and his best friend, Jeff, would soon be in the know. I’d have to call Jules right away so that she could cover for me when I explained to them that the only reason I had left a pair of naughty panties at the police station was because of a dare and not because I had a little crush on my brother’s best friend.
“Julia Gilbert, you need to call me right now,” I whispered into my phone as I left a message on her voicemail. I wasn’t sure why I was being so quiet. It wasn’t as if there was anyone else in the parking lot in the back of the police station. And it wasn’t as if the most embarrassing situation in the world hadn’t already happened to me. “And do not tell Nolan I called you,” I hissed before I hung up.
I knew I needed Julia’s help; she was my best friend, after all, but there were several downsides to confiding in her. One, I was pretty sure she didn’t really like Jeff and thus might not really want to help me figure out a way to get him into my bed. Two, she was now dating my older brother, Nolan, and I knew his overprotective ass wouldn’t want me dating his best friend. I was in a bit of a bind, but I was willing to pull the best friend card on Jules if she gave me any grief. I stared at the crotchless panties in my hand and was about to throw them on the ground in frustration when I changed my mind and stuffed them into my purse. I mean, it was unlikely that I’d be wearing them anytime soon, but they had cost me sixty dollars, and that was money that I couldn’t afford to just throw around.
I made my way down Main Street and headed toward the bakery that I co-owned with my grandma Elsie. Though I wasn’t really sure I could call it
