Restrained Desires — Katherine McIntyre

One rule: don't fall for your best friend's straight sister. Especially not when she's pretending to be your fake girlfriend.  Chelsea Moore is officially divorced from her asshole husband, and after wasting her early twenties putting up with his shit, she's burning to get out there and play the field—especially a certain kinkier side he made her feel like garbage about. Kyle Walker's terrified to put herself out there. According to her mother, she doesn't have the looks to hook anyone, but what makes it worse is that her dating history falls in line. However, when her family tries to claim she's not really a lesbian, she tells them she's bringing her girlfriend to Christmas. Only problem? She doesn't have one. In comes sexy, newly divorced, and straight Chelsea Moore to the rescue—her best friend Aubrey's little sister. She's doing Kyle a favor—like any friend would—except Kyle's half in love with her from the moment they start hanging out. All too soon those lines begin to blur—lingering touches, flirting, kissing…. And when they connect on kink and begin hooking up, that's when Kyle knows she's screwed.  Chelsea might have Aubrey to protect her heart, but Kyle could lose both her best friend and the only woman who's made her feel like she's worth more.
