Sweet Thing (The Brighton Family #2)

by Cassie-Ann L. Miller

There’s just something different about her. Something regal and untouchable. Like she belongs in a castle, on the pages of a storybook. She has this naturally sweet vibe I just can’t capture with words. It’s something I can’t quantify.

“You wouldn’t be mad if I were interested in him?” I squeak out. Karli shrugs a shoulder. “Well, I’d question your taste in men, for sure. But if you like hairy, stinky men, do your thing, girl. I’m not the one driving your bus.”

“You’re going to read a romance book?” he asks me. “At a bar?” “Yes, I am,” I nod resolutely, daring him to have a problem with that. “Now, go.”

I dare you to finish that sentence.” “What are you gonna do, Dr. Heartbreak?” “Don’t make me put something in your mouth to keep you quiet,” he threatens.

A real man knows the difference between a fling and the real thing…

“I know this wasn’t part of the plan, but I’m so fucking in love with you, Daphne.”

I don’t want to just be your friend. I fucking love you…Now, just tell me what I’ve got to do to get you to love me back.”
