From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone, second-chance story of forbidden love…
It’s natural to want the one you can’t have. And for as long as I could remember, I’d secretly wanted my brother’s best friend, Jace.
He was six years older and always treated me like the sister he never had.
Fast forward a decade.
We were all in our twenties now. Jace had moved in with my brother, Nathan, and me to help us make ends meet after our parents died.
It was just the three of us—an odd family dynamic.
Living under our roof, Jace was as bossy and protective as ever.
But he certainly didn’t look at me like a sister anymore. That was what made things so complicated.
I was pretty much hot and bothered twenty-four-seven.
And he was torn.
The signs were subtle, at first. Like on movie night, I’d casually rest my leg against his, and he wouldn’t exactly shift away.
Still, I assumed he would never…go there.
Nathan would kill us.
The knowledge of that wasn’t enough to stop the inevitable, though.
Eventually our slow burn exploded.
But more than the physical attraction, we’d developed a strong connection.
We just couldn’t get caught, right?
That sounded simple.
Until it wasn’t.
This is a story of forbidden love, broken trust, and an unexpected second chance.

Virginia’s Review
Virginia Carey’s review of The Crush | Goodreads Penelope Ward.
No matter what she writes I will read it.
The Crush was phenomenal. I devoured it in one day.
The Crush is so much more than a story about falling in love with your best friend’s little sister. It’s more than a second chance romance. If you are looking for a light fluffy read this is not the book for you.
Jace and Farrah stole my heart. Their story is intense and heavy at times. It’s
beautiful and heartfelt and emotional. It’s about love and loss. About forgiveness. About family. It’s a slow burn romance full of passion and chemistry and angst.
It’s beautifully written and romantic and it’s just everything. With flawed characters you will adore, The Crush is a must read.
An arc was provided for an honest review.
