This three-book serial is part of the CAN'T RESIST series. Books #1-3 (Sullivan Brothers "Nice Girl" trilogy) must be read in order. While Book #4 is a separate standalone (the other brother's happily ever after), it is recommended that it be read after the trilogy. Books #1-3 are also available as a bundled boxed set.
Abby Bartlett is the quintessential nice girl. Between teaching, volunteering, completing her PhD, and helping her best friend raise his daughter, Abby never gets the chance to be anything but nice. That is, until the all-wrong-for-her man she's only ever known from afar starts daring her to simply take that chance for herself. His sage advice? Try something wild and fast.
Preferably him.
An unbridled, hotshot attorney with a not-so-little black
book, Connor Sullivan has earned himself quite the bad boy reputation. But in
his defense, he's a very conscientious one. He knows far too well that
sometimes in life, love isn't enough...or worse, not even a factor at all. To
avoid that misery--and repel the drama--Connor always makes his one and only
rule crystal clear right from the start. Absolutely nothing more than a month.
Turns out, a whole lot can happen in one month.
Abby Bartlett is well aware that everyone thinks she's in love with her best friend Brian. He is, after all, the type of man a nice girl should be with--the polar opposite of the bad boy--the kind of guy who didn't let his wife's decade-long illness stop him from showering her with a lifetime of love every second until her dying day. Yes, Brian has been the yardstick against which Abby has measured all other men. But everyone's wrong; she couldn't possibly be in love with him.
Because she's never once allowed herself that option.
It's taken a while but Brian Sullivan has finally come to
terms with being a widower at the age of thirty, surviving the woman he spent
half his life loving, a third of it losing. Truth is though, he wouldn't have
'survived' any of it really had it not been for Abby--sweet, incredible
Abby--the woman he's never once had to picture his life without, never realized
he couldn't truly live without. Until now. Now that he's finally able to love
her the way she deserves, the way he knows she wants to be loved...by his
brother.
Who's giving him exactly one chance to speak now or forever
hold his peace.
Connor’s back.
Just when Abby’s life seems all but perfect, the infuriating
man comes charging back in to wreak havoc on her emotions once again. And in
typical Connor fashion, he has yet another proposal for her. But instead of a
wild and fast fling, he’s proposing...forever.
Brian’s not giving her up without a fight.
Normally the tame one of the pair, Brian is holding nothing
back in the battle for Abby’s heart. He has a decade-long head start in knowing
and loving everything about Abby—but is that enough to break the intense hold
his brother has on her heart?
Now Abby must decide once and for all between the two
brothers -- between the bad boy wanting to start a life with her and the good
guy fighting for the life they’ve already built.
Brian Sullivan has been in love twice in his lifetime. He
lost his first love to early-onset Huntington's, and he lost the other more
recently...to his brother. And somehow, his heart has managed to heal itself
after both. Amazingly, without therapy. That doesn't mean Brian hasn't gotten
more wary along the way, however. In fact, he's been thinking lately that maybe
his brother's now retired nothing-but-flings rule isn't such a bad idea.
Unfortunately, being the nice guy poster boy and all, he isn't exactly versed
in the fine art of flings. So he looks to the outrageously 'unique,'
provokingly button-pushing Tessa Daniels for a crash course.
There's absolutely no way he's falling in love with this
one...right?
Tessa has no idea what she was thinking telling Brian that
she was some sort of fling expert. She's never been flung before and she sure
as heck doesn't know where or how to begin flinging a guy like Brian. It was a
temporary lapse in sanity, really--no doubt because of the
can't-help-but-fall-for-him brain fuzz that hits her whenever he's around. Not
only does the man have her being more herself than she's ever been in her life,
but he's the only person she knows who seems to have as many demons and skeletons
in the closet as she does. What's more, he's got her thinking of the one thing
she stopped letting herself even hope for years ago.
A happily ever after.
