The Sound of Deception (Puget Sound ~ Alive with Love) (Volume 4) Susan Ann Wall

It?s the best arrangement possible: a friends-with-benefits relationship with the man she?s had a crush on for over a decade. Morgan Landry?s commitment to her career, coupled with her goal of NEVER being like her mother is what has her going back to Bryan Curtis for more and more?and well, even more. The biggest challenge is keeping it from their coupled-up friends, including her overprotective brother, who are all on the road to marriage, the one destination Morgan has no intention of reaching. When the arrangement sprouts some complications and Morgan starts failing tests and running away from her job, she does her best to deny the true beat in her heart. Chief Petty Officer Bryan Curtis is married to the navy. He?s seen too many marriages fail because of the demands of the military to crave that kind of commitment. Because he likes women, his shallow reputation of pursing blondes has earned him the title of man-whore, a moniker he?s never minded until he crosses the line with Morgan. His loyalty to Morgan?s older brother ? Bryan?s best friend ? continues to eat away at him, but not enough for him to walk away from the women he?s craved for over a decade. Bryan keeps the secret to keep her in his bed, but when his heart gets involved, he has to own up to his feelings and hope it doesn?t ruin his friendship with his best friend or have Morgan jumping ship.
