Bad Habits — Cheryl Douglas

My best friend wants me to take a risk… on him. I can't. I'm afraid of getting hurt. But I'm terrified of losing him too.

People expect one of country music's bad boys to have a few bad habits. My reputation precedes me… and I don't mind.

Until I realize it could cost me the one thing I can't live without: Cece.

That girl's my everything. My best friend. My rock. My confidante. I can't go on pretending it doesn't kill me to see her with other guys. It's time to cut through the sexual tension and test the boundaries of friendship.

Only one problem. Cece knows me too well. Knows all my bad habits and dirty little secrets. So can I convince her I'm ready and willing to change… for her?

Cece

Knox is my best friend, my boss, the guy who gave me a chance in this crazy business when no one else would. He's been my shoulder to cry on every time I got dumped. The front man… in my life. Now he wants more?

Sure, I've indulged in a naughty fantasy or two. How could I not? The man is ripped, gorgeous, inked, with a panty-melting voice and a heart of gold under his gruff exterior. But he's also a terrible risk. Knox doesn't do commitment. And I can't risk a friendship / lifeline for a one and done deal.

It's time to make a choice. Risk it all on the off-chance we could make it work… or run like hell?
