I'd dated his brother.
He didn’t remember and I wish I could forget.
I may have sworn off the Wright family a long time ago. But when I returned home, Jensen Wright crashed into my life with the confidence of a billionaire CEO and the sex appeal of a god. Even I couldn’t resist our charged chemistry, or the way he fit into my life like a missing puzzle piece.
Too bad he’d forgotten the one thing that could destroy us.
Because Jensen Wright doesn’t share. Not with anyone. And if his brother finds out, this could all go down in flames.
When it all was said and done, was he the Wright brother?

Emery Robinson is packing up and leaving her life in Oklahoma and going back to her hometown of Lubbock Texas. She’s had her world turned upside down when she literally caught her boyfriend Mitch’s hands up a student’s skirt. It’s like bad porn with the naughty professor and the seductive student. So the car is packed and she’s on her way back home.
It’s been years since she left town, right after Landon Wright, of the infamous fabulously wealthy Wright family, broke up with her on graduation day. She may have wondered about him over the years. But not fondly.
“I am not worried about running into Landon. It’s been almost ten years since we broke up.”
Once she hits town, her partner in crime bestie, Heidi has plans for her. One of the Wright’s is getting married and she’s dragging Emery there as her plus one. This new Emery bears little resemblance to the one who left town years ago. And she seems to have captured Jensen Wright’s attention. It’s obvious he doesn’t recognize her as the girl who dated her brother for over two years many years ago. Jensen may have been the subject of more than one hot dream when Em was growing up, but she can’t imagine he would look twice at her. But he takes more than a second look and there’s a little steamy encounter between them after a few cocktails at the reception.
Maybe a part of me was still thinking about that unattainable, hot college guy that Heidi and I had dreamed about in high school. Now, he was an even hotter billionaire CEO who was looking a whole hell of a lot more attainable.
This is where I get confused, the blurb made it seem like Jensen doesn’t know who Em is and if he found out, it would ruin things. But he finds out pretty quickly and it doesn’t turn him off in the least. It was years ago and ancient history.
“Emery Robinson,” he drawled. “Yes, I know who you are.”
“And, see, now, you’re not interested,” I said before tacking on a shaky laugh.
“Oh,” he said, his eyes intense and commanding, “but I am.”
Jensen is gorgeous, rich and jaded. He got burnt badly in his first marriage and Vanessa is the ex from hell. There’s more to that marriage than meets the eye and a whole lot of worms are going to come jumping out of the can. But I liked the intrigue and drama in this one. Jensen could be in danger of being too perfect, but seeing how vulnerable he is and how powerless he can be made to feel, made him a much interesting character.
He had touched my soul.
Devoured my heart.
And brought us both back to life.
I see Landon has his own book coming. I am not a fan of this guy. He married a total bitch who emasculates him, he follows her everywhere and seems to be blind-sided by her. I’m not sure why, but he has a long way to go before he gets his man card back in my eyes.
