But when she offers me her v-card I can't deny such a tempting offer.She’s everything I want, and everything I can never have. When my brother finds out she’s under my protection and that I've been hiding her right under his nose, he gives me an ultimatum. The question is... what am I going to choose?**This is book One in the series but it can be read as a complete standalone. It contains NO-CLIFFHANGERS, NO CHEATING, and has a HEA.
