Readers and critics alike raved over Sally Thorne's smash hit debut novel The Hating
Game-which sold in over 20 countries. Now she's back with an unforgettable romantic comedy
about a twin sister and brother struggling over an inheritance-and the sexy best friend who
comes between them.Crush: a strong and often short-lived infatuation particularly for someone
beyond your reach...... If Darcy Barrett hadn't met her dream man when she was eight years old
the rest of the male population wouldn't be such a let-down. No one measures up to Tom Valeska
aka the best man on Earth not in looks brain or heart. Even worse is the knowledge that her
twin brother Jamie saw him first and claimed him forever as his best friend.Tom's off limits
and loyal to her brother 99%. One percent of Tom has had to be enough for Darcy and her
adoration has been sustained by his shy kindness. And if she's honest his tight t-shirts.Now
Darcy's got three months left to get her life together before her twin insists on selling the
tumble-down cottage they inherited from their grandmother. By night she's working in a seedy
bar shooting down lame pickups from bikers. By day she's sewing underwear for her best friend
and wasting her award-winning photography skills on website shots of pens and novelty mugs.
She's enjoying living the messy life and a glass of wine or ten... until that one night when
she finds a six-foot-six perfect package on her porch.Tom's here he's bearing power tools-and
he's single for the first time in a decade.As a house flipper extraordinaire Tom has been
dispatched by Jamie to give the cottage a drastic facelift that will result in a ton of cash.
Darcy doesn't appreciate Tom's unsentimental approach to knocking down walls and he really
really doesn't approve of her current burnout boyfriend. They can't be in the same room
together without sparks flying- and it's not the faulty wiring. One bedroom wall separates them
at night and even that's looking flimsy.Will Tom ever see Darcy as anything other than a
little-sister obstacle to get around? And can she stand up to her most formidable opponent-her
twin? This time around she's determined to make Tom Valeska 99 percent hers and he's never
managed to say no to her yet...
