Risking It All — J.M. Stewart

She's everything he wants…

For years, Kyle Morgan has hidden his true feelings from the gorgeous girl next door that he grew up loving and protecting. But when she shows up at his apartment in the middle of the night, desperately needing comfort and support, his iron will begins to waver…

Kyle was always the big brother Cecelia Anton never had, but suddenly her goofy best friend has become a sexy man she can't keep her thoughts -- or hands -- off of. As their deep connection melts into uncontrollable desire, Ceci is willing to put it all on the line for a shot at true love. Only Kyle is keeping a terrible secret about Ceci's past that could destroy not only their lifelong friendship but their happily-ever-after…
