Anna's gaze snapped to the blonde woman, her brows furrowing.

Darling? Did they know each other?

Her eyes returned to Jason to find him still looking at her. Her lips twitched and she took a step forward; the woman had to be a colleague or one of those women who flirted with powerful men, hoping something would stick.

No sooner had she taken her first step, she froze in her tracks. The blonde woman hugged Jason. His hand settled at the small of her back and… stayed there, pressing her close

  • Ruined By My Brother-In-Law    Sounds Like Her

    Ouch.Anna wrinkled her nose as the smell of alcohol and cigarettes hit her again, stronger this time. Something beneath her groaned and moved, making Anna frown. She shifted her hand and felt warm skin over hard muscle.Was she lying on top of—Anna scrambled to her feet and hurried backward. She switched on her phone's flashlight, using it to find the wall switch. Jason raised a hand to shield his eyes from the sudden glare of light, mumbling unintelligibly. Anna stared at Jason Knight in shock. He was on the floor, shirtless and drunk, his phone beside him as he mumbled like a child.What in heaven's name was he doing on the floor?Unable to help it, she laughed softly, covering her mouth to muffle the sound."You really did trip and fall." Her laughter vanished as the words she'd just uttered registered. She hurried back to his side and dropped to her knees, her nose wrinkling at the smell. “Jason?”He stirred at the sound of her voice. "Turn that damn light off," he muttered.Reli

  • Ruined By My Brother-In-Law    Against Better Judgement

    …What the hell just happened?Jason stood rooted to the spot in the kitchen long after Anna's footsteps disappeared upstairs. His body still hummed with the electric energy of her presence. Slowly, his hands lifted. The fingers that had held her chin, that had felt the frantic beat of her pulse beneath his thumb, trembled slightly. He clenched them into tight fists, his knuckles turning stark white as he tried to force his body back under control.His skin felt too tight, his clothes too suffocating. He reached up with a jerky, impatient movement, tugging the top buttons of his shirt loose, desperate for cool air against his flushed throat.The sound of someone clearing their throat at the door snapped him out of his daze. He glanced toward it to find the two staff members from earlier still standing there. He cleared his throat once and walked past them, heading upstairs.He needed a cold damn shower."Sir."He didn't stop.“Would you like me to have your dinner brought upstairs, sir

  • Ruined By My Brother-In-Law    Hostile Attraction

    "Is that Leah you're speaking to?"Anna nodded, angling her phone a little toward Elena as she walked around to her side of the dining table."Hey girl." Elena waved at Leah, taking the chair beside Anna. "I thought you weren't speaking to us, huh?"Leah rolled her eyes through the screen. "I decided to be proactive about my... condition. And unfortunately, Anna here has a lot to say.""A lot to say?" Anna laughed. "You're the one who called me, Leah.""Because I know you'd have a lot to say.""You didn't even bring up 'your condition', I did. You said you just wanted to check in."Leah clicked her tongue. "Do you want to keep talking or not?""Threaten the moment you get exposed. Classic move." Elena laughed, and Anna joined her.Leah made a face at them before waving it off. "What were you saying, Annie, before the little parrot interrupted us?"Ivy and another staff member walked into the dining area, carrying trays of serving dishes and pitchers of water and juice. Anna waited as

  • Ruined By My Brother-In-Law    Heat

    Anna sank lower into the water, watching as Jason actually tugged off his tie, his eyes fixed on her the entire time."Shouldn't you still be at work? Or reading some textbook? Studying patient charts?"Anna gave him a sidelong look. "You're one to talk. Shouldn't you still be at that boring meeting of yours, playing golf, trading germs and pretending you're curing the world instead of bleeding it dry?"She could've sworn she saw the corner of his lips twitch. But then he pressed his lips together, clearing his throat right after as though he hadn't just almost cracked a smile."Someone sounds salty." He crouched beside the edge of the pool, tilting his head.Why was he not leaving?Anna pulled her lip between her teeth. She wasn't sure whether the heat in her cheeks was because of him or from being out in the sun for too long."This." He nodded toward her in the pool. "Gives me hope for the workaholic in you."Anna frowned. "I'm not a workaholic.""Sure you are." He threw the tie in

  • Ruined By My Brother-In-Law    The Familiar Pull

    Anna stared up at Jason Knight, stupefied by the words she'd heard, unable to stop the heat rising to her cheeks. Her eyes traced the contour of his lips, following the slight lift at one corner.When had Jason started teasing her so casually again?"You seem distracted.""Mm." Anna's gaze lifted to meet his eyes. His dropped briefly to her lips and back up so quickly she thought she'd imagined it."Something on my lips?"Anna blinked. Oh Lord.That was when she noticed how close they were standing. She took a quick step back, her face practically on fire."I wasn't looking at your lips."The corner of Jason's mouth lifted higher. "I didn't say you were, did I?"Why was he coming closer?"I was just... just astounded that you'd think I'd want to have a private moment with you." She was rambling. She needed to keep her mouth shut or she'd be digging a bigger grave for herself."Astounded?" Jason chuckled, leaning in. His eyes gleamed with mischief. "Your face says otherwise right now."

  • Ruined By My Brother-In-Law    Rollercoaster

    Anna barely made it past the doorway before Jason caught up with her. His hand closed around her wrist, stopping her so abruptly she almost stumbled.“What are you doing?" She wriggled her wrist, trying to break free. "Let me go, Jason.”“Let them be.”Anna stared at him. “What?”He released her wrist but stepped in front of her before she could continue toward the courtyard. “Let them be.”Outside, Leah had already made it halfway across the courtyard with Gideon right behind her.“Lee, please.”“Don't.”“Just stop for a second.”“I said don't, Gideon.”Anna's heart broke at the sight. How had they gotten to this? She stepped forward without realizing, her eyes fixed on them."I should—"Jason moved, blocking her path. "No."Anna glared at him. “Excuse you?”Jason nodded toward the courtyard. “Let them hash it out themselves.”“But Leah wants space and I betrayed her trust. I need to—"“If you get in between them right now, your supposed betrayal becomes the thing they talk about ins

  • Ruined By My Brother-In-Law    Wounds We Can't Name

    Anna wasn't answering his calls and he hated not knowing whether that meant she was avoiding him or just... indifferent. Hated wondering if it was a good or bad thing. It'd been days since they last saw each other; the last time they did, he had left her apartment like the world would come crashin

  • Ruined By My Brother-In-Law    When Time Stands Still

    Anna had taken a few hours away from the crushing weight of her responsibilities—back-to-back trauma consults, ICU follow-ups, and paperwork she’d been postponing for days—and spent more than half of it just staring at Jason's name, fingers hovering. Knightmare. His number was still saved as that,

    Helen was already outside when Anna found her, bundled in a hospital blanket, breathing in the night air like it was something she needed.Olivia sat behind her on a bench, one hand on Helen's wheelchair, the other holding her phone. They talked and laughed, eyes on the screen—happy in their own wo

  • Ruined By My Brother-In-Law    The Things We Don't Ask For

    Anna knew—if she said it out loud, all of it, there would be no going back. It was easier to pretend when you were only lying to yourself; once you brought someone else into the lie, it shatters around you. But Leah wasn't someone else—if there was anyone she could bring into this, it was her. Bes
