Falling for my Brother's Best Friend
Author: Piper Rayne
Publisher: Piper Rayne, Inc.
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
Let’s say you’re an independent, self-sufficient woman who runs the family company and you find yourself falling for your little brother’s best friend. Now, more than ever, you need to count all the reasons why you need to abandon falling. Abandon Falling #1 – He’s a womanizer. Hasn’t had a serious relationship a day in his life and changes women more often than he changes his sheets. Abandon Falling #2 – He’s never serious. He cracks one-liners, mostly at your expense. Abandon Falling #3 – When things go wrong, he seems unfazed and always remains in control. It’s so annoying. Abandon Falling #4 – He has tattoos. Lots of them. Everywhere. Not to mention, he owns a tattoo parlor. (Damn it! Why doesn’t that sound like a bad thing anymore?) Abandon Falling #5 – There’s a growing list of how different you two are. You can’t get along for fifteen minutes—a lifetime together would land one of you in prison. Keep repeating those reasons and drown yourself in work. Pretend you don’t notice his good qualities or how enticing he looks without a shirt, and do not, I repeat, do not agree to live with the man while your place is being repaired from flood damage. Trust me, even the strongest of us can only forego temptation for so long.

And once my other brothers find out, they do it, too. But it can’t be helped. I find myself sitting at the bottom of Bryn’s driveway almost every day since she moved in. This beautiful woman has no idea who I am, until I run into her in the grocery store, and she waits for me at the exit. I’m a dead man. And then I find out that she knows everything about me and more. It’s a slap in the face. I am a fool. I should have known. What’s worse, Kinsley is nobody to mess with. And I’m not just talking about her attitude, either. As if my old neighborhood wasn’t bad enough, I have a feeling my new neighborhood isn’t much better.
