Fourth Wheel

<p><strong>Maddie</strong></p><p><br></p><p>I'll admit it: I knew exactly who he was when I walked into The Oak that night.</p><p><br></p><p>I probably should have just left him alone. But I was bored. And he's gorgeous just like his brother. How was I supposed to resist?</p><p><br></p><p>The kiss we shared was scorching hot. But it was nothing compared to the intensity of his anger when he realized who I was and who I'm related to.</p><p><br></p><p>His hostility fuels me. His resistance makes me push harder. He made this into a game I'm determined to win.</p><p><br></p><p>Whether he likes it or not I've officially set my sights on Dempsey Haas.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Dempsey</strong></p><p><br></p><p>He called her Fourth Wheel. There was a familiarity between them that should have told me she was off limits. But there was just something about that girl.</p><p><br></p><p>Something familiar.</p><p><br></p><p>Something forbidden.</p><p><br></p><p>Something so damn tempting.</p><p><br></p><p>Her timing is impeccable. I've never felt more lonely or listless in my life.</p><p><br></p><p>I'm not looking for a relationship or even a fling. Especially not with someone seven years younger who happens to be related to the two people my brother hates most.</p><p><br></p><p>But the way my entire body responded to her when she pushed me against that clock tower and kissed me? That's a moment that'll stay with me forever.</p><p><br></p><p>I had my fun. Now I have to lock it down.</p><p><br></p><p>Whether she likes it or not I've officially declared Maddie Wheeler off limits.</p>
