“Thinking about you. Heard it was bad out that way… how are you?”

Ava blinked at her phone and re-read the message, just to make sure that it was Ty, sending a casual text message on Christmas Eve as if they yucked up all the time since he’d broken her heart and smeared his cheating-ass semen into another woman. Was he serious?

She glared at the message for another second, heart pounding, before stuffing her phone into her oversized pajama pocket and taking a long sip of the egg nog and whiskey mix Elias made her before they left the den.

Ty was crazy. And disrespectful. Wasn’t Trinity four months pregnant now? Shouldn’t he be tending to his fiancé with a gut full of baby instead of worrying about her? And why did he just assume that she was in Macon and not in Atlanta?

Because he was supposed to be out here with you, dummy.

Ava took a deep breath, upset with herself for being so affected by Ty’s stupid text, as Elias rounded the corner into the airy living room from the hallway with a huge department bag in his hand. He grinned at her when their gazes connected, and she smiled back automatically.

She’d stopped trying to analyze why Elias affected her so thoroughly about an hour ago. It just was. The magnetic pull he had on her seemed natural, unforced.

What had shocked her a little bit though, was how gorgeous his brothers were. Usually, there was only one, maybe two extremely good looking siblings in a family. Elias had one of those slots covered for sure. But every single one of his brothers looked like they could star in a television series.

Her brain automatically ran through the scenarios for a drama starring the Young men. She couldn’t help it—working in television for the past five years kind of made it an automatic whenever she went anywhere or met anyone interesting.

Matthew with his charming, free-spirited nature, toffee-colored eyes and curly hair that he didn’t care to comb would be the emotional draw, the Young brother women wanted to take care of while he figured himself out. All he’d have to do was smile and they’ve be won over. He was emo in a way that leaned more toward passionate instead of sensitive, with a bit of a rough edge that tempered his almost pretty boy looks.

Jeremiah and Daniel were identical twins—which was really enough in and of itself. Jeremiah with his full beard, lithe football player build, and dark
