From New York Times bestselling authors Krista and Becca Ritchie comes an all-new romance series perfect for fans of Elle Kennedy, Elsie Silver, and Liz Tomforde.
Love burns hottest when it's blue.
Ben Cobalt is number six. Not sixth place--in fact, he'd be considered at least third draft pick for the NHL if he didn't quit hockey during college. And he's not sixth-in-line for any throne. Though, most consider his larger-than-life, billionaire family American royalty.
He is the sixth-born Cobalt.
Out of a normal family of seven, he might get lost in the shuffle. But being the black sheep of the Cobalt Empire comes with its own intense spotlight. After he hits a major low at college in Philly, his four older brothers convince him to move in with them in New York City. Transferring to Manhattan Valley University--piece of cake.
Living in an apartment with all of his brothers while harboring a giant secret among a family who's more tight-knit than a secret society--total effing chaos.
He has to find a way out of the tense living arrangement, especially as he clashes with his oldest brother Charlie. Ben turns to an unlikely source for help. A grumpy, punk-rock girl with a troubled past who's already pissed off one Cobalt brother.
So when an undeniable attraction ignites, Harriet Fisher is expecting the flames to die out. Except...what happens when they don't? Falling for a Cobalt brother with secrets might be a Shakespearean tragedy she can't rewind.
Burn Bright is the first book in the Cobalt Empire series, a new adult romance series about legacy, loyalty, and love.
Tropes to steal your heart:
- Opposites attract
