From the New York Times & USA Today bestselling author who brought you the Nice Girl to Love trilogy, comes A Nice GUY to Love spin-off... 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.

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.
