Twice Knightley in my Bed: A friends-to-lovers romance (Hartfield House #1)

It’s been zero days since I realized I’m in love with Leander Knight.

Lee, or Knightley as everyone calls him, is my brother’s best mate, and he’s always treated me like his kid sister. Okay, so he might not put cockroaches in my lunchbox and lizards down my neck anymore, but even though we work together every day at Hartfield Wildlife Hospital, he’s never seemed interested in me in that way.

And then something changed. Maybe it was when I walked past him in my bikini, and he lost the power of speech. Or perhaps it was when I found out that an old girlfriend nicknamed him Twice Knightley, and I realized she wasn’t referring to his appetite for food. A switch flicked in my brain, and now I can’t stop thinking about him in a very un-brotherly way.

So far, I’ve kept it to myself. Nothing can come of it. Knightley’s past holds too many demons for him to consider settling down, and anyway, I’ve got to make sure I even have a future before I choose who I’m going to share it with.

But then, after my sister’s wedding, I arrive at the hotel to discover they’ve no reference to my booking. Knightley invites me to crash in his room, insisting he’ll take the sofa. I say yes, because I’m convinced we’re both grownups who can resist the undeniable growing attraction between us.

But he’s so gorgeous… and he smells so good… And then he kisses me, and everything else goes out the window…
