Our Little Secret: Brothers Best Friend/Secret Romance

Their arrangement had been flawless. Zoey Rossi embraced her workaholic tendencies while the weeks between their reunions ticked away. With no significant other demanding her attention, she built her business on her own terms. The name Rossi Interiors didn’t become a nationwide sensation in design by adhering to a mundane 9-to-5 routine or stressing over a relationship.

But then he returned to Virginia, derailing her world and setting that never-failing gossip train in motion. Because the first time Austin left their small town, it was in the back of a police car on the way to prison. And even though that was nearly fifteen years ago, his disreputable past is again up for discussion, amplified by his tattoos and loud motorcycle.

His past doesn’t bother Zoey. She knows why he ended up in jail and everything he’s done since to build a great life and career. He just needs to live that life somewhere else before her overprotective family discovers their year-long string of hook-ups.

But even more worrisome is Austin’s determination to make her fall in love with him.

It won’t happen. Zoey Rossi will never take that risk and give her heart to another man.

Our Little Secret is book five of the Rossi Family series. It can be read as a standalone and, as always, includes a HEA.
