Pleasure Pact

Bestselling author JC Harroway hits record temperatures with this friends-to-lovers second installment of The Pleasure Pact series! Playboy billionaire Oliver Cotterill has never crossed the line with his best friend, Neve…until a destination wedding becomes a vacation fling that’s hotter than a tropical fever. My bad reputation is well deserved. That’s why I’ve always kept things platonic with Neve Grayson. She may be a curvaceous beauty, but she’s also my best friend. The person who’s always had my back, always believed in me. The safest woman to take to my cousin’s Maldives beach wedding. Or so I thought… Neve parading around in barely there bikinis strains the boundary I set for myself nine years ago. Discovering her bag of sex toys opens Pandora’s box…and there’s no going back. It turns out Neve made a “pleasure pact” with her friends—they’ve dared her to show me exactly how she feels about being platonic! Then we make our own deal: what happens on the island stays on the island. Once I get a taste of sweet, funny Neve, I realize my cravings will never be satisfied. My best friend has become my most powerful addiction. But I have to go cold turkey before she becomes the next salacious tidbit for the tabloids. Before my messed-up family damages her as they have me. Before she learns my darkest secret and walks out of my life forever…

The truth is that the Pleasure Pact was my idea. Not because I thought my friends needed to get laid (they did) or because margaritas were involved (they were), but because I know who I want: Nick Rivers. My big, brooding, mouth-wateringly hot bodyguard. It's been torture, the way he watches me with those brown eyes shuttered and locked down. And that hard, muscled body that shields me from harm with the promise of raw, masculine heat. All that control. All that restraint. And, all I want to do is unleash it. Now we're in Milan, and I'm doing everything I can to break Nick's iron will. Because I know I can trust him. I know he's safe. And, I know the fact that my being Lady Brooke Madden, London socialite, supermodel, businesswoman and even the victim of tabloid scandal, means nothing to him. He sees me. I see him. And, we both like to watch. But, wanting him means surrendering... He wants to control everything. But, Nick can't control what's happening between us...or what will happen when he shows me who he really is.
