From the author of The Girl in the Front Row comes a laugh-out-loud, emotional romance between a blue collar single dad and his little sister's famous best friend.

Tarryn King has always been a thorn in Connor Jacobs' side. Ever since the moment his disabled little sister became best friends with the snooty brat, Connor was left with no other purpose than to be the grumpy big brother, wishing for their falling out.

And he learned to live with that—until the day he gave her the shirt off his back ... and discovered it's possible to be jealous of an inanimate object.

For two decades, that embedded thorn has been the object of his desires. But that's a secret he'll never tell. She'll always see him as her BFF's mean older brother.

Besides, she isn't just his sister's best friend anymore. She's THE Tarryn King. And what could a famous actress who has everything see in him? A single dad who collects garbage for a living.

But when her very attractive—and very available—costar enters the picture, Connor knows he has to make his move . or live with regret forever.
