Stephanie St. Klaire - 2017
    Lydia exchanges her life of luxury for a life on the run when she discovers her real estate tycoon husband is nothing more than a cold-blooded killer with endless resources.

Going off the grid, where nobody can find them, he learns his desire to protect Lydia is more than just a job. He risks it all to protect the one thing he thought he could never have. She fights to discover what she’s really made of only to find its what he saw in her all along.

That is, until the all-wrong-for-her man she's only ever known from afar starts daring her to simply take that chance for herself. His sage advice? Try something wild and fast. Preferably him.An unbridled, hotshot attorney with a not-so-little black book, Connor Sullivan has earned himself quite the bad boy reputation. But in his defense, he's a very conscientious one. He knows far too well that sometimes in life, love isn't enough...or worse, not even a factor at all. To avoid that misery--and repel the drama--Connor has a firm 'nothing over a month' rule. Who knew a nice girl would be the one to make him want to break all his rules?BOOK #2: THE ONE SHE NEVER HOPED SHE COULD HAVE...Abby is well aware that everyone thinks she's in love with her best friend Brian.

It's taken a while but Brian Sullivan has finally come to terms with surviving the woman he spent half his life loving, a third of it losing. Truth is though, he wouldn't have 'survived' any of it really had it not been for Abby--sweet, incredible Abby--the woman he's never once had to picture his life without, never realized he couldn't truly live without. Until now. Now that he's finally able to love her the way she deserves, the way he knows she wants to be loved...by his brother. Who's giving him exactly one chance to speak now or forever hold his peace.BOOK #3: A DECISION SHE NEVER DREAMED SHE'D HAVE TO MAKE...In this third and final book of the NYT & USA Today bestselling trilogy, Abby must decide once and for all between the two brothers -- between the bad boy wanting to start a life with her and the good guy fighting for the life they've already built.Books in the NICE GIRL TO LOVE four-book series include:-- Resisting the Bad Boy (Serial Trilogy Book #1)-- Falling for the Good Guy (Serial Trilogy Book #2)-- Choosing the Right Man (Serial Trilogy Book #3)-- Finding the Right Girl (Nice GUY spin-off series finale)
