Pucker Up: A Brother’s Best Friend Celebrity Romance

One mistake will expose her heart. He plans to keep it.

I love Lee Bowers.

And that is the absolute worst possible idea.

Jenna Harrison is careful, practical, and determined to keep her heart safe. Her brother’s best friend—a celebrity chef known for breaking hearts—was never part of that plan.

One impulsive, wine-fueled night changes everything when Jenna accidentally publishes a brutally honest blog post about Lee, unaware her identity is no longer hidden.

Lee Bowers is furious when he reads the review tearing apart his restaurant—until he realizes Jenna wrote it. Worse, she’s right. And even worse than that, he’s already falling for her.

Jenna is smart, passionate, and completely wrong for Lee. But somewhere between anger, stolen nights, and anonymous messages that turn dangerously personal, he falls hard.

Now he’s ready to prove she’s the only woman he wants. 

And he’s not letting her get away.

A sexy, emotionally charged romantic comedy about secret desires, emotional risk, and choosing love over fear.
