I'm keeping Chase Monroe in the friend zone.

He's doing everything possible to move me out of it.

He's the living embodiment of the billionaire playboy—richer than God, sexy as sin, and charming as hell.

With a full calendar of friends-with-benefits.

His strict no-relationships policy means I'd be another notch on his bedpost.

Not happening.

But our friendship is hard to keep.

Every innocent touch leads to more cravings we can't deny.

He claims he just has to show me how good we can be together.

I almost cave until I realize what's happening.

So I force him to make a choice.

But Chase's "harmless" past runs deeper than I could ever imagine.

So deep it's deadly.
