Soul Sisters

Soul Sisters

S. L. Adams

I’ve known my dad’s business partners all my life. They were there during my wild teenage years, doing their best to keep me out of trouble. Now my dad wants me to go on a month-long road trip with them—just me and three older men—to teach me the family business. But the trip isn’t just about work. When we’re not stripping down old wrecks or attending car shows, the guys plan to court me. That’s right: all three of them want to marry me—at once! And their idea of courtship isn’t serenading and poetry. They want me in their bed every night. Though I have no intention of marrying them, I am down for some steamy nights on the road. Soul Sisters is a reverse-harem, age-gap romance filled with adventure, humor, love, tears, and sizzling-hot sex.

As negotiations unfold and family pressures rise, Declan is forced to confront the reality that even the most carefully laid plans can unravel when unexpected feelings enter the picture—and that love, even when it isn’t meant for him, has a way of changing everything.
