About this ebook

She won’t let any man stake a claim. — But for him she might make an exception.

Nash Barron may be cynical toward love but he still intends to enjoy his brother’s wedding. Especially when a beautiful woman lays a surprise kiss on him that tempts his resolve. But Kelly Moss is the last woman he should want considering her complex connection to his family.

That kiss, though…it’s still taunting him days later.

Kelly has learned a lot about herself since her mother abandoned her and her half-sister, Tess. One, that parenting isn’t her strong suit and two, that showing vulnerability to any man is a weakness she can’t afford. Yet now that she and Tess are settled in Serendipity, leave it to Nash Barron to show her a kindness beneath his tough-lawyer exterior that dents her carefully constructed walls.

But Kelly is hiding something. And Nash doesn’t tolerate secrets. If he ever discovers what she’s concealed, she’s positive he’ll turn his back—and break her heart.

Note: Destiny is a previously published title in the Serendipity series by NYT bestselling author, Carly Phillips. Contains a small-town attorney with a white-knight complex, a woman who’s nobody’s damsel in distress, and a teen half-sister who spouts attitude like a second language.

I really enjoyed reading Destiny . It's a wonderful romance . Nash Barron see's in black and white . Do to his past . Nash and his brothers lost their parents when they were killed in a car accident years ago . The oldest Ethan left town . Nash and Dare his younger brother ended in foster care . Nash holds Ethan responsible . The guys are trying to get along and take care of their half sister Tess . Kelly Moss is Tess's half sister . Kelly and Nash are attracted and definitely have chemistry but they both have pasts and issues they need to work through if they ever hope to get a happy ending . This story is a fantastic journey for two individuals, it's well written. I highly recommend taking the time to read .

Destiny is the story of Nash and Kelly. It is an entertaining, steamy romance that kept me up late reading. Kelly is a wonder woman because of her love for Tess. How many of us would be willing to step aside and allow someone older and wiser to take charge of a surly, angry teenage girl? Kelly did that. It was hard for me to warm up to Nash because he was so judgmental where his personal relationships were concerned. He kept his family members to impossibly high standards. And when they made mistakes, Nash couldn't/ wouldn't forgive them. (Newsflash: People make mistakes and families are not exempt.) However, in one conversation between Ethan and Nash, Nash is presented with a proverbial "mirror" and finds himself lacking. By the end of the book, I loved Nash. His ability to change was a pivotal moment in my opinion of this man. He and Kelly were able to find their HEA ending. Now I can look forward to Dare's book! 4 stars

Good read about moving on in lots of ways... This was a really good story with amazing characters! There was a bit of drama and family secrets coming to light that had to get worked through. Nash and Kelly had a lot of chemistry, and the love scenes were hot. The whole family dynamic and the way things happened made this a really great story, I read in one sitting and couldn't put it down. This can be read as a standalone. I love this author and can't wait for more of her stories!!!. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
