Description
The handyman is the sexiest man on the island. But I swear I didn't answer the door in a towel on purpose. Especially since the handyman also happens
...
to be my brother's best friend.
In my defense, the hot water went out and I still had shampoo in my hair. I had no idea Flynn Ryland owned my apartment building, let alone that he'd answer my call when I rang for a handyman.
If I had, I probably would have rinsed my hair in the sink. Better to catch a cold than to catch feelings for Flynn again.
Because my brother's best friend isn't interested in me. He made that perfectly clear to the entire island when he told everyone I tried to seduce him at my high school graduation.
And yet who do I end up living with when it turns out the plumbing in my new apartment needs to be replaced?
Flynn freaking Ryland. The man who defines temptation with his wavy brown hair and ocean blue eyes I want to drown in. The man whose shoulder muscles look strong enough to lift me up and push me against the nearest wall.
Also, the man who won't touch me because he doesn't want to disrespect my brother, the only family he has left.
But what if my brother doesn't find out? What if we keep this thing brewing between us a secret?
No one has to know...
This brother's best friend, forced proximity, small town romantic comedy features a woman who is out to prove she's worth fighting for, a man who can't resist the temptation of his best friend's little sister no matter how wrong he knows it is, a seal that doesn't know it's not a traffic stop, too many mermaid legends to mention, and a group of girlfriends who are considering a career change from brewery owners to matchmakers.
