She wants him so much!
Abby Shaw has had enough. She’s done with relationships (why are guys always so needy?) and wants to focus on getting her career off the ground. The fact that Trevor Jones—her new best bud and her boss—is seriously hot shouldn’t complicate things at all. But that deliciously hard, tattooed body? A kiss that suggests hours—and nights—of wicked pleasure? Yep, Trevor is trouble...
Abby and Trevor can’t resist turning “just friends” into “friends with sexy benefits.” Which means lots of hot sex, no messy emotions. It’s the perfect arrangement—at first. But their searing sexual chemistry verges on becoming dangerously intimate...and Abby will do just about anything to keep herself from falling in love with Trevor Jones.
“Do you want to be my friend?”
Abby leaned in and pressed her lips to the warm skin below Trevor’s scruffy jaw. “With benefits?”
All Abby heard and felt was Trevor’s groan as it rumbled from his throat, and he wrapped his fingers around the back of her head and pulled her to him. Their lips met with passionate fury. This kiss was more...heated. Like water sizzling on a hot pan, the months of sexual tension that had bubbled between them came boiling over as they grabbed at each other frantically and kissed against the door of her fridge.
Trevor’s hands slid up and down her body, exploring her curves, pushing her clothing out of the way. His body was pressed against hers, sandwiching her between his hard, warm front and the cold of the fridge door.
“God, Abby,” he muttered on a harsh exhalation, with a shake of his head.
She could feel the hard length of him pressed against her belly. Thankfully, he kissed her once again then brought his lips to her ear and whispered, “Where’s your bedroom?”
In my Blaze debut, In the Boss’s Bed, Abby and Trevor provide much needed advice and guidance to Maya and Jamie, their respective best friends. But in the course of writing the book, I kind of fell in love with Abby and Trevor. I knew almost immediately that I had to give them their own story.
Abby and Trevor became fast friends when Maya and Jamie moved to Las Vegas. Neither is looking for a romantic relationship, but when they decide to try a friends with benefits arrangement, they think that they can maintain emotional distance while enjoying some wild nights together. But they soon find themselves way over their heads when their feelings enter the picture.
Friends-to-lovers is one of my favorite tropes, because why wouldn’t somebody fall in love with their best friend? Who else knows your good and bad sides? Who knows what you like and what you don’t? Who do you go to when you’re having a bad day? But as we learn with Abby and Trevor, things aren’t always that easy.
