About this ebook

My brother’s best friend saved me from a fire… now I can't resist him.

When the fire tears through my bakery, everything I’ve worked for is gone.

My dream. My livelihood. My future.

And the last person I expect to carry me out of the smoke is the one man I’ve spent years avoiding—my brother’s best friend.

He’s always been off-limits. Untouchable. Dangerous in ways I’ve never trusted myself to handle.

Now he’s back in my life in the worst—and most tempting—way possible.

With my home destroyed and nowhere else to go, I have no choice but to accept his offer to stay with him. Just until my house is rebuilt.

Living together was supposed to be temporary.

Instead, it becomes something far more dangerous.

Stolen moments turn into lingering touches. Late nights blur into something deeper. And the line we swore we wouldn’t cross disappears entirely.

But there’s one problem we can’t ignore.

If my brother finds out, everything will explode.

And this time, it won’t just be my life going up in flames.

A steamy small town romance featuring a protective contractor, a determined bakery owner, and a forbidden love that burns hotter than the flames that brought them together.

Sweet Dreams is the fifth book in the Sterling Brothers series. A masterclass in the 'brother's best friend' trope. The forced proximity following the fire creates a simmer that lasts from the first page to the last. Watching Morgan help Reina rebuild her life was as heartfelt as their secret touches were steamy. A perfect blend of small-town charm and forbidden tension with a beautiful happily ever after.
