Summer Lies & Bourbon Eyes
Emerie Hart
So why can’t I stay away from her?
To be fair, if I’d known she was my almost stepsister the night I saw her at a party off campus, I would’ve walked the other direction. But I didn’t, which is how we ended up making out in an alley behind 7-Eleven with my hands under her top.
But I definitely knew before I pinned her against my car and got her off in broad daylight. That one’s on me.

Evander Owens was supposed to go to the party to wingman his roommate, not get sidetracked by a gorgeous woman with bourbon eyes. For Anaya Melnik, celebrating her twenty-first birthday by kissing a hot AF stranger is the perfect present.
One short night together leaves them both greedy for more, until they discover their off campus connection. Not only are their parents together, but their affair is the reason Evan cut all contact with his dad. Loyal to his mother, Evander vows to stay away from Anaya, which might’ve been possible before their roommates started dating.
Anaya loves her new family and, to avoid upsetting them, denies she knows Evander at all. She definitely doesn’t mention that he kisses her breathless at any opportunity.
But as lies stack up over the summer, Evan and Anaya realize they aren’t the only ones keeping secrets, and the truth threatens to break the family ties they’re both clinging to.
A dual pov, spicy, college romance with an unreliable narrator, teasing banter, found family, complicated family dynamics, an almost stepbrother relationship, light brat/tamer play, exploration of sensuality, and falling headlong into their first, intoxicating love.
This is book 1 of An Intoxicating Love, a series of interconnected standalones.
