His Big Bet by Jessica Vee

ROBBIE:
In a way, my life is pretty simple: I’m a cop who feels honored to serve my community, and to make my found family, the Johnsons, proud.
What’s not so simple? The fact that their youngest daughter Kate, my best friend’s little sister, is the star of my darkest sexual fantasies.
I can’t risk losing my connection to her family if I cross a line, yet sensual thoughts of her mouth … her hands … her body … they threaten to unravel me.

KATE:
I’m not sure which I’ve known for longer: that I love Robbie O’Connor, or that I lust after him. When I was a girl, he was a fixture in my house. In my family.
Now that I’m a woman? He’s the man of my dreams, quite literally. I’m haunted by thoughts of him holding me, kissing me, stroking me, pleasing me. I can’t imagine a night of pleasure, let alone a happily ever after, that doesn’t center around him.
But there are two problems. First, though I’m a full-grown woman, the man sees me as forever his best friend’s pesky little sister. And second, Robbie’s a cop, and given the pain I’ve known growing up in a law enforcement family, I can’t let myself pursue him, even if he’s my dream man. My heart can’t take it.
But when lives are suddenly on the line, and our priorities suddenly shift, I’m not sure I can deny the truth any longer: this man is destined to be mine.
