Friends With Benefits

Friends With Benefits
Margot Radcliffe

‘You made the rules…But you forgot I’m really good at games. ’ Casino mogul Alexa Lawson always keeps the lines between her and drop-dead gorgeous bestie Carter Hayes firmly drawn. That is, until Alexa's solution to all her problems is to make Carter her super-hot, fake fiancé! Now Carter's changing the game—into one that's white-hot and deliciously dirty. But what happens on one wild night in Vegas might just cost them their friendship… and their hearts.

“What we’re about to do isn’t friendship...”

But what happens when you cross that wicked line...with your best friend?

Some friendships are too important to jeopardize—ever. It’s why casino mogul Alexa Lawson always keeps the lines between her and bestie Carter Hayes oh-so-firmly drawn. No matter that her once nerdy, shy neighbor is now a drop-dead gorgeous tech genius. Or that a frisson of sexual tension still crackles between them...

But with her personal reputation in shreds, her casinos on the line and Carter’s announcement that he’s leaving Las Vegas, Alexa’s smooth, unshakable exterior is on the verge of cracking. Fortunately, Alexa’s come up with a plan to deal with all her problems. For the next month, Carter won’t just be her best friend—he’ll be her superhot fake fiancé, too!

But when Alexa makes the rules, Carter decides to change the game...into one that’s filled with white-hot pleasures, wicked toys and endless orgasms that shake Alexa to the core.

They’ve denied each other for so long. Now they’re going where they swore they never would.

It’s addictive.

It’s deliciously dirty.

But when a wild night leads to accidental “I dos,” Alexa will learn that what happens in Vegas won’t just cost them their friendship...it might cost them their hearts, too.
