Thalia is twenty-one, has just finished her sophomore year of college, and is trying to avoid going home to her stifling parents, who enforce a nine o'clock curfew and have a bad habit of treating her like she's still ten. Her new boyfriend, Liam, invites her to spend the summer with him and his family, and because she's been unable to find a local job to keep her at college, Thalia jumps at the chance. Liam tells her she can be his guest at his brother Jack's wedding at the end of the summer.
Jack is twenty-five and feels as though he's drowning. He's engaged to Mia against his will because he was raised to put family first. Jack is studying for a law degree and wants to go out on his own after he graduates, specializing in criminal law. His father wants him to accept a junior partnership in the law firm he owns jointly with Lewis, his fiancée's father, to practice family law.
Then he meets his brother's girlfriend, Thalia, and he can't get her out of his head. He tries to keep his distance, because every time she smiles at him he wants to carry her to his room and do very naughty things to her.
One Saturday night Liam takes Thalia to a new bar on the outskirts of town, where she discovers Jack's big secret. By day he's the good-looking, slightly older brother with a chip on his shoulder who gives her hot looks; by night he's Phoenix, singer/guitarist for bad-boy group 'Deception', who makes her sizzle to the core!
He has muscle. He has tattoos. He has piercings. He has a mouth that makes her panties wet every time he opens it. He is supposed to be getting married. He is also her boyfriend's brother.
