Every guy knows the bro code. Thou shalt not covet thy best friend’s sister. It’s in the best friend bible.

But keeping my obsession under control is impossible, and it could ruin everything.

“Give me a second chance, babe . . . and I’ll blow your mind.” Monroe doesn’t know why she answers the text that’s obviously meant for someone else. Or why she keeps answering. Maybe it’s because she’s all alone in a big city and in desperate need of a lifeline. Or maybe it’s because each exchange leaves her intrigued and more than a little turned on. Still, Monroe never would’ve snarked back if she’d known she was talking to the “Golden Boy” of the Dallas Knights.

Fake. That's what we are. That's what we agreed to be. So why does it feel so real?

The thing about pretending, though, is that someone's always better at it, and by the time I realized my mistake, there was no going back.
