The McCormicks, Book 6

**New Updated Edition Available June 2026**

He’s her best friend’s brother. He doesn’t do relationships. Which makes him perfect… for now.

I’ve always had a plan. A backup for the backup, a spreadsheet for the spreadsheets.

Then life blows the whole thing apart.

And for the first time, I want to break the rules.

Cole Price is exactly the kind of reckless I’ve spent my whole life avoiding. He’s my best friend’s older brother, six feet of trouble, and famously allergic to anything that looks like a relationship.

Which makes him perfect.

One weekend. No strings, no feelings, no future.

Just enough heat to get the wild out of my system before I go back to my color-coded, carefully managed life and pretend this never happened.

That was the deal.

But one weekend turns into two. And somewhere between the stolen nights and every line I cross, I forget why I needed the rules at all.

Cole was supposed to be temporary.

A bad idea.

A perfect-for-the-moment mistake.

But if I let myself fall for him, I lose every line I’ve ever drawn.

And if I walk away now, I might lose the only man who’s ever made me feel like I’m actually living.
