A Beautiful Distraction: A Hard Feelings Novel

A brand-new novel in the New York Times bestselling Hard Feelings series-where nothing's more dangerous than a bad boy with a broken heart

First Sergeant Rafe Murano did everything to the extreme. He trained harder, he fought harder, and, unfortunately, he loved harder. Because when he fell for the wrong woman it nearly destroyed him.

Home from a deployment, and without his missions to consume him, Murano is ravaged by memories of his heartbreak. So he drinks until he's numb and drowns himself in meaningless one night stands. But they only take the edge off ... until he meets Fallon.

Haunted by her past, Fallon Kelly knows all too well about the desperate desire for an escape. So when she sees the tatted-up bad boy who's one more punch away from a ride in the back of a squad car, she offers a distraction-but he quickly becomes an addiction.

Little does she know that this bad boy could love so hard it could break her.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly

★ 03/24/2014
Leverich’s third Hard Feelings contemporary (after Feel the Rush) introduces two damaged souls trying valiantly for wholeness and love. Burlesque-club owner Fallon Kelly was tossed out by her well-to-do family as a teenager and has fought to succeed ever since—on her own terms. Sgt. Rafe Murano, back from his fourth tour of Afghanistan, is looking to drown the bitter memories in women and alcohol. After Rafe defends one of Fallon’s dancers from an aggressive patron, Fallon takes off with him, determined to get to know the scarred soldier. Soon, the chemistry explodes, but unless they can put aside their painful pasts, they have no shot at a real future together. Deeply emotionally painful in some places, humorous in others, this is a tale that will remain in readers’ minds long after the last page is turned. (May)

RT Book Reviews (4 stars)

Readers who love romance but enjoy something with more heat, this book is for you. It’s a well-written story full of raw passion with two broken people who learn how to love. This sexy, emotional read is grittier and more toe-curling than your average romance.”
