About this listen
He's my best friend's brother. Off-limits. Emotionally unavailable. Out of bounds.
James Hamilton makes my heart stutter. He's six feet three inches of muscle. A decorated Royal Marine. with a jagged scar that hints at a troubled past, and glacial blue eyes that see right through my defenses.
I'm the aspiring chef who spends my days drowning in dishwater and hiding my curves under an oversized apron while I strive for my big break.
James is also the definition of off-limits. My best friend's overprotective older brother and a man who has seen too much of the world's darkness to ever notice someone like me.
Or so I thought...
Because lately, those 'protective' glances feel like so much more. The air crackles when we're alone, and the way he tensed when a stranger approaches me at the bar? That was more than brotherly instinct.
I've spent years watching him from afar, but I'm ready to show him I no longer a girl who needs saving.
James, thinks he's an antihero who can't be tamed. I'm about to prove that even a guarded billionaire marine has a breaking point...
The Unwilling Love is James & Harper's story. The emotionally charged prequel to The Unwilling Bride, featuring a forbidden love, a fiercely protective hero, a heroine finding her confidence, slow-burn tension, found family, and all the delicious tension of falling for the one man you shouldn't want.

I loved this. It was a super quick listen and was a prequel for James and Harper’s story.
The tension and angst between these two! James sees Harper on a night out and was instantly head over heels. Harper wanted to dance with the handsome man. Before Harper and James can bust out some moves on the floor, we learn that James is Harper’s best friend’s older brother.
James offers to take Harper home at the end of the night, but instead, they go on a night sightseeing and chatting. There’s a moment. A spark. A kiss. But James can’t cross that line. She’s his little sisters best friend..it would never work, would it?
I need the next book. Immediately.
