Especially not tattooed billionaire and reformed troublemaker Lucas Carras. He exudes alpha-hero intensity, but he's been off limits for as long as I've known him. But the kickoff party is happening at the nightclub he co-owns with my brother... and with my sibling out of town, I'm stuck working with Lucas.

On paper, we're complete opposites. In reality, the chemistry is undeniable. This party is everything I've worked for-my moment to prove myself. Until the sabotage starts. Orders vanish. Vendors back out. Someone is determined to ruin the anniversary... and my reputation along with it. Suddenly Lucas isn't just a distraction. He's my protector, my anchor, and the only man I trust to stand by my side. But when my brother finds out about us, family drama explodes. And I'm torn between being the good girl who plays by the rules... and falling for trouble. Perfect for fans of Carly Phillips and high-heat sports romance, Falling for Trouble features a possessive hero, high-stakes suspense, and a guaranteed HEA.
