Does He Know? - Special Edition

NYT and USA Today Bestselling author Kaylee Ryan brings you a new standalone series surrounding five best friends who co-own a tattoo studio. "Does He Know?" is an age gap, brother's best friend, small town romance.

Emerson

It's not like I planned to fall for my older brother's best friend.

It just happened. With a perfect body covered in tattoos, and a dirty mouth, Roman is the kind of guy women notice-and believe me, I noticed. Even when I tried not to.

When he finally gives in to temptation, there's no going back. At least for me. Too bad Roman doesn't see it that way.

He thinks he needs to protect me and my relationship with my brother, but I don't need him to fight my battles. I just need him.

Roman

My name whispered from Emerson's perfect pink lips is all it takes for me to betray my best friend.

Before that night, I kept the green-eyed beauty at arm's length. Watched her from afar and told myself that the chemistry between us was one-sided.

I pretended that I didn't want her more than my next breath. Which is what's on the line if her brother ever finds out we've been sneaking around behind his back.

But I can't stay away. Especially after knowing what it's like to have her and lose her.
