Yours to Keep by Claudia Burgoa

Loved You Once

Blaire

The Aldridge brothersare like a force of nature. They’re like volcanic lightning, fire tornados, bismuth crystals, nacreous clouds, or typhoons echoing through lost caverns. They’re passionate and chaotic. They carry the strength and wisdom of redwood forests and the pride and anger of minor gods. Am I giving them too much credit by painting them to be larger than life?

…Perhaps.

It’s all about perspective. Some people compare them to a nuclear meltdown.

To say they’re interesting is an understatement. The Aldridge brothers are handsome, arrogant, and sinful.

Henry, the hotel mogul, is callous.

Hayes, the doctor, is handsome, nerdy, and detached.

Pierce, the lawyer, is an unrelenting know-it-all.

Mills, the hockey player, is reckless.

Vance, the former Delta Force member, is impulsive.

Beacon, the heartthrob musician, is rebellious.

Make sure to add as fuck to each of them. They all have an alpha side that’s infuriating,

I haven’t heard from them since their brother, Carter, died. Until their father died two weeks ago and they came barging back into my life. Am I ready to face my past?

I don’t know. All I care about is what I’ll get at the end of this deal. This will be like walking through a rose field under a volcanic eruption. Once I cross the bridge into their world, there’s no going back.
