RESISTING
THE BAD BOY BOOK SUMMARY:
"A heartfelt, fast-paced, and fun
read!" -- NYT Bestselling Author Lauren Blakely
The book that started it all. Book #1 of the Nice Girl trilogy, the acclaimed three-book serial that began the New York Times & USA Today bestselling CAN'T RESIST series.
Abby Bartlett is the quintessential nice girl. Between teaching, volunteering, completing her PhD, and helping her best friend raise his daughter, Abby never gets the chance to be anything but nice. 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 always makes his one and only rule crystal clear right from the start. Absolutely nothing more than a month.
Turns out, a whole lot can happen in one month.
Note: This is NOT a standalone. This is the first book in a three-book serial.
This three-book serial is part of the CAN'T RESIST series. Books #1-3 (Abby's story) must be read in order. While Books #4-6 are separate standalones, it is recommended that they be read after the trilogy. Books #1-3 are also available as a bundled boxed set.

Excerpt
He didn’t want Abby to have any
illusions about him. “The last woman I dated isn’t taking the end of our one
month well. But it is completely
over, I assure you. I’m not dating her or anyone else right now, in case you
were wondering.”
“I wasn’t. Wondering, that is. I know
you wouldn’t be asking me for a month if you were.”
He was utterly curious as to why, how
she was so sure of such a thing.
At his questioning look, she shrugged.
“You strike me as a monogamish kind
of guy. Plus, I don’t believe you’d go through the hassle of enforcing a rule
if you weren’t going to be man enough to honor it yourself.”
There was a good chance he was going to
start needing this woman as a valium for his soul. She saw a glimmer of good in
even his worst qualities, and didn’t hesitate to call him on the rest. But
never without recrimination. If it was possible, she seemed to just like him
for being him.
“Hey,” she said, concern latent in her
voice. “You okay? You looked a little worried there for a second. Is it your
case? Did you want to talk about it?”
She had to stop. He couldn’t take much
more of her innate niceness; he didn’t deserve it, didn’t have the first clue
what to do with it. “Oddly enough, I do want to talk about my case with you.
Hell, I want to share my whole day with you. Which is why I need to do this.” So quickly it
surprised even him, he swooped onto the couch and lowered his mouth down to
hers.
Just one taste.
He just wanted one little taste before
his hunger got out of control. Before he started craving things he couldn’t
truly have.
Like a nice girl he had no business
wanting.
He stopped himself mere seconds before
his lips made contact though...shut his eyes and took a steadying breath. Then
another. And then finally backed away.
Christ, that was close.
But just when he’d gotten a handle on
his roiling emotions, just when he thought he could be the good guy for a
change, he felt two gentle hands smooth over the sides of his face.
And he was lost.
