One woman learns the secrets of the five Jaeger brothers in the new romance from New York Times bestselling author Penelope Douglas.
On the other side of town, in the dark glades, under the rain…
Macon is the oldest. Thirty-one. Ex-Marine. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him smile.
Army is twenty-eight. A single dad with the most beautiful green eyes. He has no idea who he is, if not a Jaeger brother.
Iron will be in prison soon. You’d never think it to meet him. He’s a nice guy, actually. But he can’t stop reacting to everything.
Dallas is the one I hate. Twenty-one, cruel, and selfish. He takes and then throws away whatever’s left.
And Trace is mine. Or he was for about two seconds. No one can tame him for long.
Not that I ever wanted to. It was fun, but now I need to go home. Back to my side of the tracks. Away from the swamps and these men. To my parents’ big house. On my clean street. Where I’m never dirty or messy or hot. And I will. I’ll leave first thing tomorrow morning. I just want to crash on the couch tonight.
Their house is dark and quiet, everyone else is asleep. Except for one. He sees me crying and comes at me from behind. I let him wrap his arms around my body and hold me tightly. His breath is on my neck, his fingers are in my hair, and he doesn’t stop there.
I don’t think it was Trace.
Krisjen Conroy may live on the privileged side of town with a mansion and swimming pool, but she comes to life on the other side of the tracks where the Jaegers live.
If you’ve read any titles by Penelope Douglas, you know she weaves in plenty of high-octane heat into her storylines. Five Brothers is no different.
All of the brothers have their unique quirks, from Macon to Trace. Iron’s got the bad-boy attitude, complete with an impending jail sentence. Army is more steady and Dallas is grouchy. However, Krisjen had a mysterious tryst with one and can’t seem to figure out which brother rocked her world.
Meanwhile, Krisjen’s home life is starting to fall apart since her father moved out. She’s been waitressing across the tracks, but she may find herself stuck on the arm of the highest bidder if her society-driven mother gets her way.
Five Brothers centers around a coming-of-age theme where life seems full of Jaeger secrets ready to be unraveled.
