Ours to Lose: A Best Friend's Brother Sports Romance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781964973012)

One secret hookup arrangement.

Two career-launching competitions.

So much more to lose.

After getting promoted from sous chef to head caterer, Aubrey Witter must pull off the ultimate New Year's launch...solo. Hundreds of dishes to plate means no time to think about who she is or-let's be real-isn't kissing at midnight. Until her best friend's boxing god of an older brother shows up, looking even more gorgeous than he did when they were kids.

Gabe Hardt has been avoiding home since his mom's death two years ago. But with how Aubrey's been there for him in the aftermath, he'd do anything to surprise her at her big event. And when he learns she's never had a New Year's kiss? He can't climb into the ring fast enough.

What Gabe doesn't expect is for the kiss to be so explosive. Or for Aubrey to ask for a taste of more. Or to start wanting a future not meant for him the longer she stays in his arms.

It should be a win-win. As long as 1) Gabe's brother never finds out, and 2) they remember it can't last.

Ours to Lose is the second book in the Oh Brother series and can be read as a complete standalone. It's a high-heat, low-angst contemporary romance featuring a swoon-worthy boxer who aims to please, an awkward chef who learns to ask for what she wants, and enough found family to make your heart melt. HEA guaranteed.
