Not Him by Ruth Cardello
One small town. Two powerful families. Thirty years of bad blood threatening to tear everything down.
New York Times bestselling author Ruth Cardello continues the high-stakes drama of the Firebrook Valley series. Get ready for a soulful, slow-burn, brother’s-best-friend romance that proves some fires don’t just smolder; they consume. One spark is about to set everything ablaze.
Evan:
She’s innocence and sunshine.
I’m nomadic and jaded.
Neither of us belongs in Firebrook Valley, but here we are, trying to put out fires we didn’t light.
If she wasn’t dating my brother . . .
If I didn’t know I’d hurt her when I leave again . . . maybe I’d finally ask myself why I’ve always gone out of my way to make sure she’s okay.
I need to stay away from her because it’s killing me that the only woman I want is the one I can’t have.
Nora:
I’ve spent my life creating my own sunshine even in the middle of storms. But this time, I’m caught between two angry brothers and a whole lot of family drama. And, somehow, I’m the one tasked to fix this.
The feud between our fathers is heating up, and so are my exchanges with Evan.
My father’s afraid I’m falling for a Holliston.
And I am, just not the one he thinks I am.
Evan has been my secret guardian angel ever since we were children. Can I get him to wake up and see past the chaos to me before he leaves again?
In Firebrook Valley, the only thing more heartbreaking than falling for the man your family doesn’t want you with . . . is lusting after the one fighting for you to have the right to be with his brother.
