Nero (Alliance, #1)

by S.J. Tilly

“You’re crazy,” I breathe. His hands dart out, gripping my ankles, and he yanks me down the bed. Again. Nero bends over me, putting our faces an inch apart. “For you, I’m fucking certifiable.” His lips press to mine, and I must be just as insane, because I feel nothing but comfort at his words. “Now get dressed.”

“You know,” he says, when he sees where I’m looking. “Cinderella only left one shoe behind.” I fight my embarrassment by rolling my eyes. “Yeah, and Prince Charming didn’t break into her home to find her.” Nero grins. “The villains always have more fun.”

“I heard once that soulmates aren’t just for romantic relationships. You can have friend soulmates.”
