Brother's Best Friend Trope

My dad wants to find me a rich husband, but I plan to ruin his scheme. Enter Alex Steinman, my brother's best friend and the hockey league’s most notorious player. He needs a good girl to clean up his image, and I need a fake boyfriend to get my dad off my back.

Our fake relationship quickly turns real with frenzied kisses, stolen touches, and whispered dirty nothings. My brother would throttle Alex if he found out. And then things get even more complicated—I’m pregnant.

Mikel Evans is broken. With all his attention focused on dealing with blackmail and a drug dependency, his day-to-day is barely survivable. So when he reflexively steps up to defend his best friend’s little sister, he’s blindsided when she leans in for a kiss.

My checklist guarantees my brother a flawless wedding, but I missed one detail: his best man. Archer Sullivan, my high school crush.

After ten years, he still leaves me breathless. His intense gaze and silence make me feel transparent, and my defenses crumble the more time I spend with him. I’m falling for my brother’s grumpy best friend...again.

Theirs is a love that was never supposed to happen-but when it does, it unleashes secrets that could destroy them both...and everything they hold dear.

Blake Whitlock, my brother’s best friend, cares only about power and money. He’s everything I despise—ruthless, intense, with steely eyes that send shivers down my spine. He thinks he can have anything he wants, just the type my affluent family hopes I’ll marry. But I’m his opposite. So, when I announce a fake engagement to escape my family’s judgment, I'm shocked when he offers to play along, claiming I owe him. I refuse, but my resolve weakens as I see a new side of him. Then, two pink lines change everything. We started faking it to get my family off my back, but now I need a real partner to raise this baby with me.

Ryker Balinger, Goalie-zilla of the Houston Heatwave, is my least favorite person and now my temporary roommate. We pretend to date for his good press and my revenge on a new team member. But as he coaches me off the ice, our fake relationship turns real, and now he's about to become my baby daddy.

I'm Karli Brighton, Queen of Epic Screw-Ups, back in my hometown after twelve med school rejections. A one-night stand with a charming guy seemed harmless until he shows up at my house the next morning—my brother's best friend, Mason, here to help with our clinic and staying across the hall.

Left without a job and evicted from the house she so carefully turned into a home, Aria is offered two choices: move back in with her brother… or take the job her brother’s best friend offers her.

Stella's reluctant return to her small hometown brings back a flood of memories. She vowed to escape, but fate has other plans in the form of Gray. With sparkling brown eyes and a wide smile, Gray rekindles joy and forgotten sparks in Stella. Yet, he’s a forbidden flame, threatening to consume her fragile defenses against grief.

Forbes may have labeled Ford Grant the World's Hottest Billionaire, but all he cares about is escaping the press and opening a recording studio in gorgeous small town Rose Hill. Something that comes to a screeching halt when he ends up face-to-face with a young girl who claims he's her biological father. Now, he spends his days balancing business with parenting a sullen twelve-year-old, all while trying desperately to keep his hands the hell off his best friend's sister, Rosie Belmont.

Kai, a hot and muscled Maori rugby player, has sacrificed everything for the sport. His burly, tattooed body is built for the game, not for romance. That changes when a cute, curvy woman captures his attention. Suddenly, he wants more than to win matches; he wants her—all to himself. The problem? She's his best friend's little sister, Jade, who has secretly desired him for years.

I didn’t mean to trick my sister’s best friend into working for me. Okay, I did, but I need Emily to make my new restaurant a success. Her calling me boss and being close is a bonus, given our explosive chemistry.

There’s just one problem: Emily has firm career plans that don’t include me. She’s determined not to complicate things by sleeping with her boss. But I believe she could use a distraction—me. All I need is a bit of persuasion to keep her from slipping away again.
