The Rules of the Bachelor Pact: Never date the neighbour...

Beck

It s probably a bad idea to fall for the one woman I was never supposed to touch. Mae O Malley. . . my childhood best friend and the reason for Rule #1 of the Bachelor Pact: no dating the girl next door.

Following the rules has never been hard. Until Mae walks back into my life, fresh off a broken engagement and looking like a complication I want to make. She s sexy, smart, and more off-limits than ever. But I ve never been one to give up easily, especially not when it comes to the only woman I ve ever loved.

Mae

Coming home with my heart still broken from Paris wasn t part of the plan. But being surrounded by family, and Beck makes it easier. Or so I thought.

Because now he s looking at me like I m something more than a friend, and suddenly I m feeling things I never thought I would again. Butterflies. Hope. Beck s made it clear he s not the settling-down type, and I ve been burned before. So why can t I protect my heart from the one person who s always had it?
