USA TODAY BESTSELLER

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of It Happened One Summer and Hook, Line, and Sinker comes the last sexy and hilarious novel about three broke and beautiful best friends...

Construction worker Russell Hart has been head-over-work boots for Abby Sullivan since the moment he laid eyes on her. But he knows a classy, uptown virgin like her could never be truly happy with a rough, blue-collar guy like him. If only she'd stop treating him like her personal hero--a role he craves more than oxygen--maybe he could accept it.

With the future of her family's company on her shoulders, Abby barely has time to sleep, let alone find love. And her best friend Russell acting like a sexy, overprotective hulk any time their Super Group goes out in public definitely isn't helping her single status. But after a near-tragedy lands Russell in her bed for the night, Abby's suddenly fantasizing about what he looks like shirtless. Chest hair and tattoos--who knew?

As Russell struggles to keep Abby at a safe distance, she begins to see through his tough-talking exterior--and acknowledge her own feelings. Now she's ready to turn the friend-zone into foreplay...and make him lose control.

"The women share fun banter, but the repartee between Russell and Abby is especially enjoyable... depth, heart, and a lot of playfulness." - Library Journal (starred review)
