Lissa Sharpe Nun The Wiser

Matilda Markov is ready to put her former nun days behind her and experience all the worldly pleasures she can. (ALL the worldly pleasures.) But when she feels her friend group starting to slip away from her, just like she's lost so many people who were close to her before, she takes some bold action to try to keep everyone together. If only she can anticipate everything that could possibly go wrong, always, she might be able to keep her life from falling apart. What she doesn't see coming from a million miles away? Kimo Kapono, the surfer-dude/secret multimillionaire with a heart of gold who treats her like a lady, pays off her student loans, and who can't seem to keep himself from getting kidnapped (repeatedly). Kimo is the golden retriever to Matilda's black cat, and he's determined to win her heart---or get thrown in the back of a van with tinted windows trying. Beneath her prickly exterior, Matilda is terrified of letting someone in, and even more terrified of losing someone she loves, again. She's always known she's not the kind of person who gets a love story--snarky bitches who've locked away their hearts rarely do. Luckily Kimo's not afraid to get creative. If he can't find the key, he'll just use a jackhammer... 'Nun the Wiser' is a full-length contemporary romance and can be read as a standalone. It is Book #2 in the Bad Habit Book Club series, Seduction in the City World, Penny Reid Book Universe.
