The Drake Twins

The Drake Twins

by Rowan Cody

They used to make her life miserable—every taunt, every smirk, every stolen moment meant to break her down. But growing up didn’t erase the magnetic pull she’s always felt toward the Drake twins. Now, seven years later, they’re back in her world—older, darker, and twice as tempting. Their arrogance is still there, but so is something new flickering behind those wicked eyes. Desire. Challenge. A dangerous game she swore she’d never play again. She tells herself she should walk away, but the truth is she’s never been good at resisting them—or the delicious kind of chaos they bring.

What are they going to do when they can’t resist each other any longer? And what will her brothers say?
