Only I don’t expect to have a strong, unexplained pull towards him that doesn’t waver, even after I walk away.Confused and tired, I’m desperate to leave, but I’m hit with a debilitating migraine, and who’s there to help?Mister Sexy Blue Eyes. Because of course…he’s a doctor.And not any doctor.He’s Matthew Hughes, my boss, and best friend's insanely attractive older brother.As we talk, I see a different side of him, and our night turns into one of wild abandon…followed by agreeing to one week promised.Seven days of fun with a gorgeous older man.Until one day…my heart enters the equation breaking all the rules.Author note: Lilacs and Lovers is a steamy novella coming in just over 25k. This was written as a standalone. However, for the best reading experience, it's recommended to read this as 2.5 in The Taylored Men Series (after Destined Lovers) By J R Gale. less
