Fool for Love Read Online Free PDF

They’d been upfront about their adventurous streak. Which should have been a turn-on but wasn’t. Katie and Krissy were cute as hell but too young and shallow for his taste. Not to mention they’d made the same offer to his brother and their cousin Nash last June at the Vermont Dairy & Maple Festival. Devlin was fairly certain his cousin had crumbled and indulged in the average man’s twin-girl fantasy. Nash wasn’t one to screw and tell, but he’d walked around with a dopey smile on his face for an entire week.
    Devlin shook his head while checking his e-mail. Luke and Nash juggled women and relationships the way he juggled multiple business interests. Life was complicated enough without having to deal with the drama of multiple affairs. He’d always leaned toward monogamous relationships but had never been inclined to fully commit—not since Janna had ripped out his heart. Once annihilated, forever wary. Not that he was celibate, just cautious. His cynicism and habitual bad luck with women ensured his bachelor status, as did his obsession with work and various investments. He had too many people counting on him—the employees at J.T.’s and the Shack, his relatives—to dwell on what eluded him.
    The love and devotion of a down-to-earth, family-oriented woman.
    Restless and hopeful that the Kelly twins had zeroed in on another target, Devlin left the office intending to have a last word with Luke before heading home. When he neared the bar, he saw his brother enduring the attentions of Viv Underwood, a woman he’d dated and broken off with a year ago, while waving good-bye to Katie and Krissy and serving draft beers to the Brody brothers. Luke had an amazing talent for making everyone seem like the center of his world while he was actually tuned into something else altogether. Just now Viv appeared smitten while Adam and Kane seemed enthralled by whatever bullshit Luke was spewing. Luke was … distracted.
    “You outta here?” he asked without making eye contact.
    “Almost.” Devlin looked where his brother looked. Damn. Melon Girl had shown after all. Luke was practically drooling. “Down, boy.”
    “Am I that obvious?”
    “Yes.”
    “Can you blame me?”
    “No. But keep it zipped.” The intensity of the jealousy rippling through Devlin’s blood took him by surprise. He didn’t even know her name, yet he had the insane urge to tell his brother, Hands off. She’s mine.
    Luke laughed while serving Devlin a Dewar’s on the rocks he hadn’t asked for. “Admit it. She’s hot.”
    “How many women are you seeing now?”
    “On a steady basis? Three. What? They know about each other.”
    Devlin rolled his eyes, then, unable to help himself, glanced back to Melon Girl. She was still wearing her flowery dress and knee-high boots, but she’d twisted her long hair into a messy ponytail. His cock twitched and he’d swear his heart skipped. Something that hadn’t happened since— Christ—Janna. He ignored the warning bells, sifted through old-as-dirt pickup lines. But then Connie, one of the six waitresses on the payroll, showed at Melon Girl’s booth carrying a tray loaded with enough food for two people.
    Damn.
    “When you asked me to keep a close eye on Gram’s new companion,” Luke said, “I had no idea it would be such a pleasure.”
    “What do you mean?” But then Monica Smith slid into the seat across from Melon Girl and Devlin connected the dots. “ That’s Chloe Madison?” Jayce had painted a different picture—an in-your-face gorgeous blonde—whereas the woman affecting Devlin’s pulse was a dark, subtle beauty. “Are you sure?”
    “I’d say it’s a safe bet. She walked in with Monica and they’ve been gabbing like women who’ve known each other for years. Thought I’d wait till they got to dessert before introducing myself. If she isn’t Chloe Madison, I’d like the name and number that goes with that dish.”
    “To hell with waiting.” Devlin pushed away from the
