The one thing he can’t control is his reaction to feisty ex-pageant queen-turned-real estate agent Ashley Richards. Ashley Richards is a woman with a plan; always has been, always will be. She’s got her sights set on conquering the Atlanta commercial real estate market, and the last thing she needs is Rory Doyle disrupting her carefully planned life. After their best friends get their happily ever after, Rory wants to take his relationship with Ashley to the next level, but Ashley has other things to worry about, including planning the perfect wedding for her best friend. Add a bonus complication of the biggest challenge of her professional career and she definitely does not need the distraction of Rory’s sexy Irish brogue and his hot dancer’s body. Can Rory convince Ashley to listen to her heart or will she decide that he doesn't fit in with her plans? This contemporary/second-time contains explicit sexual situations and graphic language. The Best Ever is a stand-alone novel, but builds on the story that started with A Bad Bit Nice. less
