Lake House Steam by Synthia Stone

Leslie wanted Reece. His brother had other ideas.

Leslie’s trainer, Reece, is smoking hot—and knows it. Rejection throws her confidence off-kilter and into the arms of another Calloway brother. Maddox has a knack for seeing right through Leslie’s happy-go-lucky facade, and it annoys her to no end when he calls her on it. Leslie is strong and independent, so why does gruff Maddox keep trying to pull back the layers and rebuild her into something new? She’s not one of his construction projects.
Maddox keeps running into the pretty dark-haired girl from his brother’s gym. Soon, he can’t stop thinking about her, even if she’s younger and more interested in his obnoxious younger brother Reece, who couldn’t take love seriously even if it punched him in the nose. A simple life without the drama of relationships is better…right? Why did Maddox kiss her the night Reece hurt her so badly, then? It’s something he can’t take back, and he’s not sure if he wants to. In fact, he’s drawn to this woman in a way that he doesn’t understand.
When mutual friends plan a wedding, Leslie and Maddox can no longer avoid each other and do their best to fulfill their wedding party obligations. Love is in the air—and maybe not just for the wedding couple…
Will Leslie let her guard down long enough to let Maddox in? Can this pensive small-town guy find love with a feisty city girl? Or will their friends’ wedding cake blow up in their faces?
