She’s my brother’s best friend’s little sister. Tara has been a part of my life since we were five years old. My parents adore her. She even has her own room in my childhood home. Her face is inked on my forearm—not that anyone realizes it’s her. I’d never admit it, or the rose I have been sending her in secret since freshmen year of high school seven years ago. I can’t have Tara. She isn’t for me. She’s sweet, and everything good. The opposite of me. I’m the jerk. The college dropout turned tattoo artist. The one who has turned down every drunken pass she’s ever made over the years. I’m also the guy that beat the shit out of a friend for lying about her our senior year. But no one needs to know that. Especially not Tara. We’re roommates now, so when I come home one night and find her on the porch crying, I’ll do whatever she needs to make the tears stop. Only once wasn’t enough… I wanted more. The problem is, I don’t deserve her and never will. I know it. Everyone knows it. And like I knew would happen, I messed it all up. You can’t grovel and beg for someone’s forgiveness when they’re no longer here. She was gone, and I’d never forgive myself…

“I love being naked. Naked is awesome.” ~Cooper Miles Life used to be an endless party. I worked hard and played harder—as often as possible. But things change—people change—and lately the party life isn’t doing it for me. Enter Amelia. It isn’t every day that you meet a girl in a wedding dress in a bar. A girl whose life just took a sharp left turn she wasn’t expecting. Kissing her? It’s no big deal—totally just for fun. She’s had one hell of a day, and a little kissing lesson by Cooper is bound to make her feel better. Getting in a little dig at the dumbass who left her at the altar is a bonus. The invitation back to her hotel? That, I wasn’t expecting. Saying yes to her is reckless. Not because I’m a stranger to a one-night-stand. And not because she’s in a wedding dress, and the words this is my first time cross her lips. Saying yes to Amelia is reckless because she’s making me feel things I’ve never felt before—big things. Nothing scares me. But this girl? She might be magic, and I have no idea what to do with that. **Each book in the Miles Family series ends with a romantic HEA, but there is an ongoing subplot that spans the entire series.
