About Better than Most: Green Haven (Unabridged)

From best-selling author Jennifer Millikin comes a brother's best friend second-chance romance filled with heart, heat, and humor. Rhodes Porter. A name Georgia Whittier would prefer to never cross her lips again. Not only was her older brother's best friend her first love, her first everything, but he broke her heart for a reason she still hasn't fully accepted. To make it worse, Georgia couldn't properly nurse her broken heart because nobody knew about the love affair. A decade has passed, and Georgia is all grown up. She's 27, a college graduate who had a real-world job. Had. Her small hometown of Green Haven isn't flush with teaching jobs, but she knew that when she moved back home. She's making ends meet with odd jobs and has rediscovered her old love of West Coast swing dancing. Life isn't great, but it's good enough. Until Rhodes returns to Green Haven. For good. As much as Georgia would prefer to banish him from her life, she can't. See: brother's best friend. Now Rhodes is everywhere. Her brother's wedding. At a family barbecue. On the sidewalk across the street, Georgia waits in line at the post office. And that broken heart Georgia thought had healed? It hasn't. Because Rhodes is just like before. Better, even. Georgia is determined to keep Rhodes at arm's length, even when he's buying her blackberry orange jam at the Sierra Grande farmers market. Even when he's holding eye contact a beat too long. Especially when she finds out the old note she wrote him is still sewn into the brim of his baseball hat. The hat he still wears. Every day, it gets more difficult for Georgia to refuse her heart. But if what Georgia wants is a reason not to fall in love with Rhodes again, she need look no further. Rhodes is holding onto it. All these years, he's kept the truth about why he left her a secret, but secrets have a way of revealing themselves. And this one? It's a doozy.
