Rebel - Laura Pavlov - Bog

JACK
I'm always down for a good time.
I'm that guy.
I love women.
I love sex.
And I love my life.
Go big or go home, right?
My father's death is a constant reminder of why I like to keep it simple.
Life is short.
Emotional attachments make you weak.
Grieving sucks.
And I have no interest in caring deeply for anyone outside of my family.
I'm not looking for complications.
Monroe Buckley is a complication.
She's driven.
She's focused.
And she's my best friend's little sister.
Not happening.
But once we're forced to spend time together...
I only want more.
Too bad she's the one woman who is off-limits.
MONROE
I don't trust most people, and I have my reasons.
I'm passionate about my work, and I came here to do a job.
Not date the boss.
Getting hired at the top media company in the city is the break of my life.
But it means working for Jack Montgomery.
My one-time crush.
My brother's best friend.
And the current thorn in my side.
He's exactly what I want to avoid.
Yet he's everywhere I turn.
Even when he's not there-he's in my head.
He's a magnet for attention.
A heartbreak just waiting to happen.
And my heart is something I fiercely protect.
At all costs.
They say the heart wants what the heart wants...
But my heart isn't allowed to make that decision anymore.
There's too much to lose.
