From New York Times bestselling authors Krista and Becca Ritchie comes a new contemporary romance series about legacy, loyalty, and love - the charming spinoff of the beloved Addicted and Like Us series.
***
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.
But living in an apartment with all of his brothers while harbouring 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.
