The nice guy hiding underneath my exterior doesn’t want to hurt her, but there’s too little of that guy left in me. I’m killing him, slowly, one brain cell at a time. I pierce her with my most venomous look. “Why the hell would I want to be friends with you?”
A glimmer of pain darts in front of her eyes, but I ignore the remorse, pushing on.
“You’re just some girl I fucked against the wall when I was drunk. If friends is code word for fuck buddies, you can forget it. I don’t offer seconds.”
Her nostrils flare, and her eyes narrow. She gulps, and I know I’ve hit my mark.
I feel like a worthless pile of garbage.
“Fuck off, Brad. For the life of me, I will never understand how either of them can call you a friend.” She stands up, and I can’t stop my eyes from drinking her in. From her sinfully luscious lips to the creamy swell of her breasts and down over her long legs, barely covered in her skimpy jean shorts, Rachel is temptation on a platter. Leaning down, she pins me with a vicious look. “And for the record, I wouldn’t piss on you if you were on fire let alone fuck you again.”
She stomps off, anger radiating from her pores, shaking her delectable ass, while I try to disguise my begrudging amusement and my growing boner.
No, Rachel and I can never be friends.
Because friendship would never be enough with a girl like her.
And contemplating anything else is like tempting a hornet’s nest.
Two damaged hearts plus two messed-up minds equals one motherfucking destructive clusterfuck waiting to happen.
And my life is enough of a clusterfuck as it is.
So, I add her to the list of girls I’m not allowed to touch.
And hope that this time I can stick to my resolve.

Saving Brad
(The Kennedy Boys Book #5)
An enemies-to-lovers romance from USA Today bestselling author Siobhan Davis. Standalone with an HEA and no cliff-hanger.
Brad
I’m in love with my best friend’s girl.
She knows it. He knows it. Everyone knows it.
Faye will never be mine, but try telling that to my stupid heart.
An endless rotation of girls streams in and out of my bedroom in a desperate attempt to forget her, but nothing eases the horrid ache in my chest. Rejection isn’t anything new for me, but it hasn’t gotten any easier.
Until she reappears in my life. Like an out-of-control tornado. Storming in, all fierce and angry, ready to steamroll everything in her path. Rachel is trouble with a capital T bundled in a gorgeous, sexy, Irish package.
She pushes all the wrong buttons, and I can’t decide if I want to yell at her or kiss her.
I should steer clear.
But I’ve never been very good at taking my own advice. Especially when it comes to girls I can’t have and shouldn’t want.
Rachel
I need to escape.
To put as much distance between me and that monster so I can start living my life.
Yet, even the vast Atlantic Ocean isn’t enough to sever the connection. To allow me to forget how he’s ruined me. His hold is more than just physical. He has a vise-grip on my head and my heart, and I can’t breathe, can’t think, and can’t function.
So, I do everything to blot it out.
Until he reappears in my life.
Brad McConaughey. So hot. So infuriating. So in love with my best friend.
Every word out of Brad’s mouth makes me want to throat punch him or kick him in the nuts.
But he makes me feel, and I hate him for it. A part of me might actually love him for it.
I should keep my distance, but like destructive magnets, we are drawn together.
This isn’t going to end well.
I know it. He knows it.
But we’re powerless to resist.

Acknowledgments
Loving Kalvin was quite a different book for me to write, but I loved each and every part of Lana and Kalvin’s story, and I hope you did too! I’m aware that a lot of readers dislike Lana because of her actions toward Kal in Finding Kyler and Losing Kyler. I understand that, and I am in no way condoning her behavior, but I wanted to explore how good people can make bad judgment calls and if someone makes the wrong choices should they be punished for it for the rest of their life?
While it was never my intention to delve into the sensitive subject of rape in this story, I felt it was important that Lana acknowledged how her actions might have affected rape victims and that she tried to atone for it.
As always, I have to thank a great team of people who work with me to deliver these books in the fastest possible time frame. Huge thanks go out to Kelly Hartigan, Fiona Jayde, Tamara Cribley, Lola Verroen, Moriah Chavis, Sinead Davis, Deirdre Reidy, Teresa Hanley, Angelina Smith, Dana Lardner, Jennifer Gibson, Danielle Smoot, and all the wonderful girls on my ARC and Street Teams.
Massive thanks to my family and friends for all the online posting and sharing, and I would be lost without the support of my husband and my sons.
Most importantly, thank you so much to all the readers around the world who have embraced the Kennedy Boys and who are enabling me to write more stories in this world. Next up is The Irish Getaway, releasing in August, followed by Saving Brad in October. Early in 2018, I will release an edgy, angsty, standalone new adult romance called Inseparable which I am super excited about. Subscribe to my newsletter or follow my page on Facebook for updates.
