From Wall Street Journal and USA Today best seller Vivian Wood He's gonna make sure he's her first. Ryan Scott is big and bad, and he has a body made for sin. When he leaves the SEALs and heads home to DC, the first person he wants to see is his best friend, Poppy Baker. Just to be around her, of course...nothing funny. Their friendship isn't like that. Except...one look at the beautiful blonde and he starts to question how he never thought of her as more than just a friend before. Ryan likes to imagine how it could be more. It doesn't hurt anyone if it's just in his head. When Poppy starts to give him that look - the seductive eyes, the pouty lips, the head cocked just so - he can't help but imagine bending her over and taking her right there. How her eyes would close, her breasts would bounce, and the noises she would make.... Ryan has to get his act together, because that's his best friend he's thinking about. They have a long history together, and he can't lose her friendship. He won't risk it. But once Ryan has a taste of Poppy, she's all he can think about. She's a walking, talking fantasy...and she's only a hair breadth away.... One wrong move could take what he values most. This steamy romance contains adult language and some seriously sexy scenes.
