Hollywood and Verona get their shot at love in this brother's best friend dark romance. He thinks he's dispensable. She owes him her life. What happens when mischief and mayhem collide?

Verona

After I came home from college, I promised myself two things: no more boyfriends and no more unvetted clients. Men are nothing but drama.

When the motorcycle club holds a bachelor auction to help my brother with his medical bills, I'm surprised to see fear on Hollywood's face. A couple of pushy girls won't leave him alone, so I make it my mission to keep him safe.

I tell everyone I hate him; sometimes I mean it. But Hollywood and I complement each other more than I thought, and it's positively filthy.

Hollywood

I realized my life was heading nowhere fast after almost dying last summer, so I made a vow of celibacy to work on myself. I want more out of my life than meaningless encounters.

When Verona outbids everyone at the bachelor auction, I can't believe it. She's my best friend's little sister and the president's daughter. I can never enact the twisted things I've been thinking.

She says she hates me, and it's the hottest thing I've ever heard.
