Bros before hoes or so the saying goes. However, Maxwell Sheridan threw that saying out the window the minute he hooked up with his best friend, Alex's, poisonous ex. The moment he slept with her, he was hooked. Sloppy seconds was not his style, but she was a cruel addiction he couldn't overcome. He thought his days of betraying his best friends were behind him. But Max learnt the hard way that history had a way of repeating itself. That was until one moment on a bridge would change it all. Josephine Faulkner is struggling. Mentally, physically, and emotionally. Life has caused her to grow up. Gone are the wild days, black hair, and dating men her ambassador father would never approve of. But juggling work and life has meant that university hasn't been high on her priority list. When Maxwell Sheridan finds her on a bridge, dropping small stones into the lake, a friendship and connection between them blooms. He offers to tutor her. She offers him her compassion. But their undeniable attraction and friendship will be tested. And her name... Andrea Wallace.
