Tied Down - Kate Hawthorne

Ford is a flirt who loves a good game, and flirting with his best friend's straight little brother is well within the rules of engagement. But finding out Boston isn't so straight after all? There's no playbook for that.

My best friends say I'm shameless, but I'm just out for a good time. Whether it's one and done or a quick second round, I'm always ready for the next great adventure, as long as it doesn't end in a relationship. So what if I've made a habit of sleeping with the people my friend Kale employs? It's still all for the love of getting into bed, and if he thinks hiring his straight younger brother is going to make me change course, he's in for a rude awakening.

But being propositioned by Boston Sheffield is the last scenario I ever expected to walk into.

I know Ford doesn't expect anything to come from our flirting. For him, it's only done to irritate my brother, but for me...let's just say his promises sound a little too good to ignore. Everyone thinks I'm straight, and for the longest time, so did I, but in Ford I see the perfect opportunity to explore another side of myself. Besides, who am I to say no when he smells so good and tastes even better?

For years I've been chasing after the feeling of home and, in Ford Carlisle, I've finally found it.

Even though it's uncharted territory, Ford and I are secretly committed to each other. Sooner or later, we'll need to take our relationship into the real world, but that also means coming clean with his friends and my brother. Ford has never wanted to be monogamous before, and Kale has his own ideas about what's best for everyone. It's up to me to make sure they know that Ford and I are not tied down-that together we're finally free.
