SHE THOUGHT SHE WAS GETTING A COUPLE OF DATING TIPS FROM HER BEST FRIEND. SHE WASN'T READY FOR HIS TEMPTATION TUTORIAL.

After everything Jordan Tanaka had done for him throughout their childhood, Carlos Fuentes is more than willing to offer her a place to stay when she moves from Los Angeles to Cincinnati.

He also agrees to help revive her dating life.

Unfortunately, the more time they spend together as adults, the more likely his friendly gesture will turn into an unexpected catastrophe.

Because when Carlos sees her in that red dress—wickedly tight and temptingly gorgeous—the shock of lust he experiences for Jordan hits like a tsunami.

The problem is, the words “lust” and “Jordan” do not belong in the same sentence.

He already has her understanding, kindness, and loyalty. He shouldn’t want her beautiful body, too.

What good would come of it? What risk?

This is no friends-to-lovers romance. This is what happens when beauty's best friend is a beast.
