Joey
I don’t want to be someone’s dirty little secret. I know all too well what that feels like.
Guarding my heart means staying out of pro football player Brock Williams’s bed and out of the spotlight. But after all these years, he’s exactly like I remember, charming, determined, and used to getting what he wants. And what he wants now is me.
The chemistry between us is undeniable. And the guy I always saw as a player is now the one who makes my heart beat fast—the one who leaves dirty love notes on my pillow.
Oh, yeah… he also happens to be my brother’s best friend.
Brock
Hooking up with Joey is a bad idea, but that’s not going to stop me.
I remember the first time we met. Joey showed up at campus to visit her brother, and when she came walking out in that little yellow bikini, I stopped seeing her as my best friend’s little sister and saw her as someone I desired but could never have. It turns out I was wrong.
For now, it’s stolen moments and promises on paper… of all the things I'm going to do once I make her mine. Her brother might not forgive me, but she’s worth the risk. I can't deny myself any longer.
I'm tired of sitting on the sidelines. It's time to execute the play and show Joey how our story ends.

Tell Me A Story was exactly was I was looking for: a sweet story with a swoon worthy hero not afraid to show his woman what she means to him. The brother's best friend might have been at first what sold me on this novel, but the whole story was just irresistible!
Joey and Brock's chemistry was off the charts hot from the start. I absolutely adored the meaning behind the title of the book. All the feelings they were too afraid to reveal out loud were revealed through little notes they left each other. Their shared little stories were just so beautiful and romantic. They had me truly seduced!
It was the first time I read a collaboration between Kaylee Ryan and Lacey Black, but certainly not the last. I previously enjoyed multiple books from both authors and the combination of their writing styles was seamless.
