From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new, sexy standalone novel.
Growing up, the three of us were friends.
He was the nerd.
I was the playboy.
She was the beauty.
Deep down, I only ever wanted her. I kept it inside because Rory and I made a pact that our friend, Amber, was off-limits.
He lied.
I went off to college, and he got the girl.
Amber never knew how I felt.
They were together for years—before he broke her heart.
Through it all and across the miles, she and I casually stayed in touch.
When my job sent me to Boston for a three-month contract position, Amber let me stay in her spare room.
Still reeling from her breakup, she’d sworn off men.
One night, I opened her computer to find the shock of my life. She’d hesitantly contacted a male escort company. Afraid to date and get her heart broken again, she was looking for sex with no strings.
Every emotion imaginable ran through me: protectiveness, jealousy—curiosity.
Amber had chosen Gentleman Number Nine and sent him a message.
She opened up to him, confessing, among other things, her physical attraction to her friend— me. But she considered me off-limits—and she thought I was a manwhore. (Ironic, considering the circumstances.)
Eventually, she set up a date to meet Gentleman Nine at a hotel.
When she showed up several nights later to meet him, she got the surprise of her life to see me standing there—with an offer I hoped she wouldn’t refuse.
Virginia’s review
I swear I would read Penelope’s shopping list. I mean it. I will read anything she writes. She is hands down one of my favorite authors.
A friends to lovers story, Gentleman Nine was so damn good. Penelope knows how to write with just the right of everything in a story- heart, emotion, angst, steam, drama, romance, wit, and humor. Not only that, the development of the characters and the interactions between them is always spot on. And she did all those things again with Gentleman Nine. Amber and Channing are fantastic. This story will warm your heart as well as teach you some things. It will have your emotions all over and that’s a good thing! It will have you swooning and rooting for Amber and Channing to work things out. It will keep you coming back from more.
A must read!
