“Call him,” Jensen urged, pulling me from my memories. “He has a good balance of work and life. He’s local, he’s a good guy. Just . . . get out some, okay? He’ll take care of you.”

I tried to quell the hum vibrating all along my skin when my oldest brother said this. I wasn’t sure
how
I wanted Will to take care of me: did I want him to just be my brother’s friend, helping me find more balance? Or did I want to get a grown-up look at the object of my filthiest fantasies?

“Hanna,” Dad pressed. “Did you hear your brother?”

A waiter passed with a tray of full champagne flutes and I swapped out the empty one for a full, bubbly glass. “I heard him. I’ll call Will.”

Christina
and
Lauren,
a writing duo who have been swooning over romance novels for as long as they can remember, are the authors of
Beautiful Bastard, Beautiful Stranger, Beautiful Bitch
, and several upcoming titles in their popular series from Gallery Books. Separated by the pesky state of Nevada, these co-author besties speak several times a day, agree that Ruby Pumps is the best nail polish color ever, and would, if given the choice, spend all day staring at the ocean from the San Clemente pier.
