My Brother’s Best Friend by Cara Hunt

Can a broken heart be healed by love?
When Miranda Langley needs a place to stay for the summer, she’s over the moon when her brother arranges for her to stay in the Hamptons. After an absolutely horrible year in the city, Mandy needs a break, and she needs to finish her book.
Luther Van Der Bijlt had loved and lost. The loss of his dearly departed wife still haunts him every day even though he left the city to make the loss a little less hard. But what he had built as a sanctuary for his pain had become a shrine to his wife’s memory.
When Mandy arrives in the Hamptons, the only condition to stay out of Luther’s way, she is more than happy to oblige. But how can she ignore her landlord when he awakens feelings in her she never thought existed. How can Luther stay away from a girl that reminds him he is still alive?
Can Luther open his heart to love again? Will Mandy ever be able to step out of the shadow of his late wife? How can love conquer the gaping hole that remains after you lose someone you loved more than life itself?
