Six overprotective older brothers.
One hopelessly single younger sister.
Her.
She was talking about herself.
Cora was the hopelessly single younger sister.
Because, God, she loved her brothers. But, hell, they were ANNOYING. And good at scaring off every single man she’d ever dated.
Sigh.
She just…wanted the happy ending, the man who’d love her and her flaws. The one who wouldn’t be scared off by her six scary—even to her, as much as she hated to admit that particular truth—older brothers.
But—another sigh—there didn’t actually appear to be a man on the planet who met those criteria.
So…circling back to the fact that she was hopelessly single and destined to remain that way.
Until one day there was a knock at the door.
And Rafe showed up, moved in, and—
Proved that her brothers’ best friend was the one man on the planet who wasn’t scared.
Rafe’s note to Cora is the best…
Keep reading to see the full Love Note!
Cora,
You were always the pest. My best friends’ little sister who tagged along and made our lives miserable.
Then you were the girl I had to protect along with your brothers because your dad was gone and you were too young to remember him, to know him.
Then you became more.
I noticed you as a woman the first time I saw you in a prom dress, hair twisted up into a bun, crystals threaded through the brown curls.
I wanted you the first time I saw you kissing your loser of a boyfriend in high school, hating that his hands were on you, that he got to touch you and I didn’t.
But you were forbidden.
And, frankly, it was easier to pretend you were just a little sister.
But then I fell in love with you. With your smile and your laugh and the way you’d never share your Cheetos with me, no matter how much I pestered you.
And then I didn’t care you were my friends’ little sister.
I just knew I had to have you.
