riana Forkerro’s life just fell apart.

She lost the dream job she’d spent her entire life working toward.

Running to Pittsburgh to stay with her brother, she’s desperate to forget her problems and focus on rebuilding her life some place far away from her disappointed parents. Getting back on her feet is easier when her brother’s best friend and linemate, the handsome Boston Black, is constantly around, just begging to be flirted with.

When it comes to him, the stakes are high, but she’s betting it all on Black.
Boston Black is a man who likes his privacy and his solitude.

He left his life behind when he made it to the big leagues and has spent years trying to get far away from the trauma of his childhood. He refuses to let anything, or anyone, disturb his peace now that he’s found it. That includes the beautiful—and completely off-limits—Ariana Forkerro, who has been trying to get a piece of him since the moment she laid eyes on him.

When circumstances force them into being each other’s date to a wedding, the growing tension is becoming harder to ignore. With her sights set on him now more than ever, it’s only a matter of time before they finally storm right over that line they shouldn’t cross and fall into each other’s beds.

There are only two rules.

One: neither of them are allowed to fall in love.
Two: Carter Forkerro cannot, under any circumstances, find out that his best friend is hooking up with his little sister.

Staking Time is a story about going after what you want. It’s about forgiving yourself for the ghosts of your past, and not letting them haunt your future. It’s about allowing yourself to change your mind when you decide you want something different out of life.

Most of all, this novel is for anyone who has ever had a crush on your brother’s best friend. Tempting, isn’t it?
