I also need to thank Gina Wachtel for being the most amazing guide and cheerleader a girl could ever ask for. Penelope Haynes for putting up with me and my incessant changes and lateness—I appreciate all you do for me. Cover designer, Lynn Andreozzi, for giving me the sexiest, most beautiful covers in the business, and everyone else at Random House, especially Matt and Ashleigh and Erika, who do so, so much for me. I’m so grateful to have found a publishing house that believes in me and takes such great care of me.
I’d also like to thank my agent, Emily Sylvan Kim, who makes it so easy for me to do what I do. She is the most hopeful, optimistic, talented, lovely person I know and I’m so thrilled to have had her on my side from the very beginning of my writing journey.
I have the best fans in the world and I’m so grateful to each and every one of them for taking me into their hearts and reading my books with such wonderful enthusiasm. Thank you so much for all you do for me!
And, finally, I’d like to thank some of my truly incredible friends, most notably Emily McKay, Shellee Roberts, Sherry Thomas, Julie Kenner, and Martin Torres, all of whom helped me in ways big and small to make this book as good as I could make it.
Thank you all so much! I don’t deserve you but I’m keeping you!!!!! xoxoxox

Chapter 1
Garrett
In my thirty-one years, I’ve been called a lot of things—bastard, ass, jerk, motherfucker, scumbag and soulless cocksucker. One title that has never been bestowed upon me is nice guy, which is why I couldn’t tear my gaze from the only woman I’ve ever truly wanted, but could never have.
Savannah. Where did I even begin?
I downed my neat scotch and tapped the bar for another.
Onstage, Jerry Baritone and the Tone-Ettes crooned Billy Joel’s “Uptown Girl.”
My father, the great Richard “Dickey” Marsden, had summoned us all to the club—Julep, Mississippi’s Fairview Country and Golf Social Society for those who weren’t in the know—to celebrate clever Savannah’s med school graduation. She’s everything I’m not. Warm and welcoming. Friendly to dogs, kids and old people. As a doctor, she’ll no doubt possess flawless bedside manner.
I didn’t just want my stepsister beside my bed, but in it—on me—riding me, fucking me hard enough to burn her from my soul.
Another scotch returned me to age sixteen.
“Son…” Dad planted his big hands on my shoulders, propelling me forward toward the girl who changed everything. “Meet your new sister, Savannah. Isn’t she a peach?”
