She was in the arms of his brother, crying into his shirt. But the whole situation was purely platonic and Daniel knows that. It doesn't stop him from scowling at her every time they work together. Or from sending her heart into a crazy spin. But if she wants to keep this job, she'll have to grin and bear it.

By the time the agoraphobic, unhinged, and musically gifted Grayson James came crashing into my life, I was deeply infatuated with his elder sibling. But that didn't stop him from ruining everything. He stole something that wasn't his to have. Something I hadn't known I was giving him. After realizing he was unsatisfied with that little taste, he wanted more—wanted me. Now, he's asked me to keep him company while he hides out in his family's rustic mountainside estate. Blackmailed me, really. Unfortunately, I need the money, the escape.
