Loving the Right Brother
Marie Ferrarella
She’s coming home to Hades, AlaskaSeeing Brody Hayes again was like seeing a ghost. But, Irena Yovich noted with relief, the resemblance he bore to his late playboy brother – Irena’s philandering ex-boyfriend – was purely physical. Still, she knew she’d better not get too close…Brody had been secretly in love with Irena for years, and now she was suddenly within his reach. All he had to do was convince her that they were meant to be – that he was the right brother after all…
“We’re not kids any more.”
“I know,” Brody replied quietly. “Doesn’t mean we can’t talk.”
“No.” Irena couldn’t seem to pull her eyes away from his lips. “It doesn’t.”
She was standing as close to him as a heartbeat. She could feel his breath on her face when he spoke. The feel of his breath on her skin stirred her.
Was she just being needy again?
Was she missing Ryan, struggling to put his memory to rest?
No, it wasn’t that. She’d made peace with all that. This was something else, something different.
All she knew was that she was very, very attracted to the man she had always considered her best friend.
Had it been there all along, waiting to be discovered?
