Matthew Ashe falls in love way too easily; he\u2019s a sucker for a pretty face. And falling too fast. And getting impulsively engaged. The only thing the two of them have in common is their mutual love of kinky, casual sex\u2026.and the fact that Charlotte\u2019s brother is Matt\u2019s best friend.<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><em>All Charlotte knows about Matt is that he\u2019s the billionaire heir to a hospitality empire. All Matt knows about Charlotte is that she\u2019s bound to break his heart. When a destination wedding fling turns into months of long-distance flirtation, Matt invites Charlotte to Ascend Red, his private resort where guests live out their wildest fantasies. Even limitless indulgence and abandoned inhibitions can\u2019t satisfy his craving for something deeper with Charlotte. And Charlotte is beginning to think Matthew Ashe could be the one man she doesn\u2019t want to walk away from\u2026<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Brothers-Billionaire-Best-Friend-Book-ebook\/dp\/B0DR7BF64Z\/\">Amazon<\/a> \u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/her-brothers-billionaire-best-friend-abigail-barnette\/1146770493\">Barnes &amp; Noble<\/a> \u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smashwords.com\/books\/view\/1667784\">Smashwords<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Now, on to business!
