About this ebook
Before the success-before they fell in love and found their futures-there was the friendship.
How it all started.
A brief look at the start of BAM.
Bentley. Aiden. Maddox.
Vested Interest.
The beginning.
Melanie Moreland
New York Times/USA Today/Wall Street Journal bestselling author Melanie Moreland, lives a happy and content life in a quiet area of Ontario with her beloved husband of thirty-plus years and their rescue cat, Amber. Nothing means more to her than her friends and family, and she cherishes every moment spent with them. While seriously addicted to coffee, and highly challenged with all things computer-related and technical, she relishes baking, cooking, and trying new recipes for people to sample. She loves to throw dinner parties, and also enjoys traveling, here and abroad, but finds coming home is always the best part of any trip. Melanie loves stories, especially paired with a good wine, and enjoys skydiving (free falling over a fleck of dust) extreme snowboarding (falling down stairs) and piloting her own helicopter (tripping over her own feet.) She's learned happily ever afters, even bumpy ones, are all in how you tell the story.

BAM - The Beginning - Melanie Moreland
Dear Reader,
Thank you for selecting this first look at the Vested Interest series.
This is a great idea.
Aiden had jumped up, fist punched the air, and yelled, That’s how we do it! BAM!
It stuck. Our initials, our ideas, our brand. My brothers.

CHAPTER 1
Bentley
Iwalked in the front door, inhaling deeply. The house smelled delicious, so I knew Maddox was cooking. We took turns, but Maddox was the best at it. When it was my turn, there was a lot of takeout. When Aiden cooked, there were vast quantities—and the primary ingredient was always meat. He was an endless vacuum and could out-eat both Maddox and me—even when the food was subpar.
I could hear Maddox and Aiden talking, and I went upstairs to change and grab five minutes of peace. After they heard what I was going to tell them, there’d be no more peace for me tonight.
I ran my hand over the smooth oak banister we had restored when I bought the house. The wood gleamed in the late afternoon sunshine that poured through one of the many stained-glass windows that graced the old Victorian house. My room was on the third floor—or the penthouse,
as Aiden liked to tease me.
Only the best for Bent.
He grinned with a wink the day we moved in. Top floor so he can look down on all us peons.
Fucking right, Callaghan,
I returned with a smirk. That’s why you’re on the first floor.
Great,
Maddox groaned. I’m the meat in the Bentley-Aiden sandwich.
Aiden pursed his lips. Too scrawny. You’re more like the mayo on the bread.
We all laughed.
That was the way we were with one another. Teasing, over-the-top comments, lots of banter—but we were tight. I would lay down my life for either of them, and they would do the same for me. They were the brothers I never had—my family.
We met at the start of our first year. I met Aiden first, then Maddox became part of our small group. Three vastly different people, all from dysfunctional circumstances that gave us common ground. We recognized that disconnect with others. That feeling that we, somehow, were
