Header PromotionSweet Talk by Susan Mallery (HQN July 2008)
This is the first in the Sweet Trilogy (followed by Sweet Spot and Sweet Trouble), which tells the stories of the three Keyes sisters. In Sweet Talk, Claire Keyes, a world-renowned pianist, returns home to help her sister, Nicole, while she recovers from surgery. There's the family bakery to run and all sorts of tasks to take the load off Nicole. The only thing is it seems that maybe Claire doesn't know how to do anything, except play the piano. Nicole has hated and been resentful of Claire for well over twenty years. And all her friends, including her former brother-in-law Wyatt know all about how Claire has done her sister wrong. Wyatt can't understand the immediate attraction that flares between him and Claire and he fights it as he is Nicole's best friend and how can he desire the enemy? But Claire is earnest and sincere in her desire to help and reconnect with her sister. Can Nicole and Claire make up for lost time and re-discover their sisterly love to repair the bond that's been broken between them for so long? This story shows how damaging unreconciled issues can be and how leaving them to fester can make it near impossible to ever recover a lasting, loving relationship.
From the back of the book: "Is there anything sweeter than a first love? Don't ask Claire Keyes. The twenty-eight-year-old piano prodigy has never had a regular boyfriend, much less a real romance. Her music career has left little room for friends or family-which is just part of the reason she hasn't seen the family bakery or her two sisters in years. But now Nicole is sick, and Jesse is AWOL. Despite the fact that Claire can't boil water, she's determined to play caretaker. Connecting with her sisters tops her to-do list...along with falling in love, or at least in lust, for the first time. Ruggedly sexy Wyatt just might fit the bill. Although he keeps saying that he and Claire come from entirely different worlds, he lights up hotter than a bakery oven whenever Claire is near. If this keeps up, she just might sweet-talk him into her bed...and her life."
