SYNOPSIS (OPIS)
From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new, sexy standalone novel.
Growing up, the three of us were friends.
He was the nerd.
I was the playboy.
She was the beauty.
Deep down, I only ever wanted her. I kept it inside because Rory and I made a pact that our friend, Amber, was off-limits.
He lied.
I went off to college, and he got the girl.
Amber never knew how I felt.
They were together for years—before he broke her heart.
Through it all and across the miles, she and I casually stayed in touch.
When my job sent me to Boston for a three-month contract position, Amber let me stay in her spare room.
Still reeling from her breakup, she’d sworn off men.
One night, I opened her computer to find the shock of my life. She’d hesitantly contacted a male escort company. Afraid to date and get her heart broken again, she was looking for sex with no strings.
Every emotion imaginable ran through me: protectiveness, jealousy—curiosity.
Amber had chosen Gentleman Number Nine and sent him a message.
She opened up to him, confessing, among other things, her physical attraction to her friend— me. But she considered me off-limits—and she thought I was a manwhore. (Ironic, considering the circumstances.)
Eventually, she set up a date to meet Gentleman Number Nine at a hotel.
When she showed up several nights later to meet him, she got the surprise of her life to see me standing there—with an offer I hoped she wouldn’t refuse.
Najbolj prodajana pisateljica na lestvici New York Times, Penelope Ward pripravlja nov seksi samostojen roman.
Mi trije smo bili prijatelji med odraščanjem.
On je bil obsedenec.
Jaz sem bil playboy.
Ona je bila lepotica.
Globoko v sebi sem si vedno želel samo njo. To sem skrival zaradi Rory in sklenil sem pakt, da je najina prijateljica prepovedana.
On je lagal.
Odšel sem na fakulteto in on je dobil dekle.
Amber ni nikoli vedela kaj sem čutil.
Bila sta skupaj več let—preden ji je strl srce.
Skozi ves ta čas in te razdalje sva ostala v stiku.
Ko sem moral poslovno priti v Boston za tri mesece, mi je Amber dovolila, da sem ostal v njeni prazni sobi.
Še vedno se je oklepala razhoda, zato se je moškim odpovedala.
Neko noč sem odprl njen računalnik in zadel me je največji šok v življenju. Kontaktirala je podjetje za moško spremstvo. V strahu, da bi bila ponovno prizadeta, je iskala seks brez obveznosti.
Vsa čustva sem si lahko predstavljal na sebi: protekcionističen, ljubosumen—radoveden.
Amber je izbrala gospoda Gentleman Number Nine (Kavalirja številka devet) in mu poslala sporočilo.
Odprla se mu je, mu priznala, med drugim tudi njeno fizično privlačnost do svojega prijatelja— mene. Vendar me je obravnavala kot prepovedanega— in mislila je, da sem moška prostitutka. (Ironično glede na okoliščine.)
Navsezadnje je postavila datum, da se sreča z Gentleman Number Nine v hotelu.
Ko se je čez nekaj dni dobila z njim, je dobila presenečenje življenja, ko je mene zagledala kako stojim pred njo, s predlogom in upam, da ga ne bo zavrnila.
