Somebody to Love by Lea Coll

Don’t sleep with your best friend’s brother.

My best friend, Gia, has a rule for her employees and her friends: No dating her brothers.
But Leo Giovanni is the guy I’d secretly crushed on since high school—who also happens to be Gia’s eldest brother.
The Giovannis are the family I never had, and I refuse to do anything to mess that up.
Leo has always had a special relationship with my daughter, but when he starts coming around more, taking us out on dates, building Evie a playhouse, and whispering sweet Italian words to me, I find myself lowering the walls I’d erected around my heart.
He says all the right words and has made it clear he wants both Evie and me, knowing we come as a packaged deal. The only problem is, he wants to keep our relationship a secret.
His parents want him to marry a nice Italian girl, and his sister—my best friend and employer—would feel betrayed if she ever found out. Not to mention, the expansion of his family’s restaurant hinges on his parents’ approval.
We both have a lot on the line if this goes south, but I refuse to be anybody’s dirty little secret.
How can we make a relationship last when everything is so stacked against us?
