Teach You, Teach Me

Teach You, Teach Me

by N. Warren

Having a massive crush on your brother's best friend is so cliché, right? But what if that best friend comes back into your orbit after six years? And what if he's even dreamier than you remembered and presents you with a deal that you simply cannot refuse? There's a girl he wants, and he's asked you to help make her his—finally. Yeah, it sucks that the girl isn't you, but he's desperate and mouthwatering, and he'll do anything you want him to do to make you say yes...so you agree. The deal is set; you teach him to nail the girl of his dreams (literally), and he'll teach you how to pick up guys. It's simple, right? Because you both get what you want? So then, how does it go so wrong?
