Synopsis:
Cody Garrett, a former Navy SEAL, has never met a skirt he
didn’t fancy. His six-pack, rugged looks and bad boy image ensures a steady
stream of hot babes waiting to slip him their phone numbers wherever he goes.
So, he is confused when Bridie Barker refuses to go on a date with him.
It’s not like she’s a stunning beauty or something. According to him, her ears are big, she’s well-rounded and she’s not even a D-cup.
In spite of her shortcomings, the more she pushes him away, the more he finds himself thinking of her.
Twenty-year-old Bridie Barker has control issues. Every detail in her life is planned.
Her closet is color-coded and she has an array of storage containers, to ensure that everything is in its correct place.
Her whole world is black and white, and grey areas are a no-no.
When she meets the warm and grounded Scott Garrett, she thinks she has found her soulmate. Unfortunately, and to her disappointment, things don’t pan out with Scott.
While waiting tables, she has a disastrous run-in with his brother, Wild Boy Cody Garrett, King of Body Shots, who parties every night with a different girl.
Even though he’s good to look at and makes her laugh, she turns down his advances as he’s clearly the tag-and-release kind of guy.
Besides, she is pretty sure he owns not a single storage container, and she’s certain that his closet is not color-coded.
Problem is, Cody Garrett finds her rejection an aphrodisiac and pursues her.
My Brother, My Rival is a sexy, modern-day, drama-filled love story.

Excerpt from My Brother, My Rival: All out of Love by
Eve Rabi:
My urge to destroy returned with a vengeance. I turned my
Hummer around.
“Where you going to, Cody?” my mother demanded, her voice
frantic.
I didn’t answer, but hit the gas and gunned the Hummer
toward Bridie’s old place.
“Cody, where are you going?” my dad demanded.
I stared ahead as I floored it.
“Cody, just stop!” Jenna said. “I know where you’re going!
You stop right now, Cody!”
Ignoring all their pleas, I drove on until I pulled up into
the parking lot outside Bridie’s old place.
Just in time – I spotted her standing outside Scott’s
Roadster in the parking lot.
Scott was still in the driver’s seat, talking on his phone.
I braked and without killing the engine, I hopped out of my
Hummer.
Within seconds, my family was running behind me, pleading
with me to leave them alone.
Bridie spotted me first. “Cody!” she mouthed, fear in her
eyes.
I picked up a brick from the side of the road and walked
toward Scott.
“Cody!” Bridie screamed. “What are you doing? STOP!”
I ignored her and walked over to my brother. I was going to
smash his skull with the brick until his brains lay all over his Roadster.
His window was opened. Good. When he saw me above him, brick
high up in the air, ready to hit him with it, he dropped his phone.
I raised the brick to smash it down his face.
His eyes grew large.
“CODY, NO!” Bridie screamed.
When I looked into Scott’s eyes, I wavered.
He stared, I glared.
I willed myself to do it, to kill Scott.
But I couldn’t do it. He was still my brother.
Even though he stole my girl, even though he hurt me like no
one in this world had ever hurt me, I couldn’t hurt him.
How I wished he was some other ahole at that moment.
Frustrated, I booted in the Roadster’s door three times. The
door caved into him.
Scott tried to open his door, but the door wouldn’t budge.
He scrambled toward the passenger’s side and tried to open
that door, but I dropped the brick and pushed the Roadster until it fell onto
its side.
“What are you doing, CODY?” Bridie screamed.
With the Roadster on its side and Scott trying to boot out
the BMW’s windshield, I spun around to look at Bridie.
With eyes as big as saucers, she walked backward. “Cody,
stop, please!”
I walked faster. She turned and broke into a run, away from
me.
There’s no way she could outrun me. I raced after her. She
ran faster and in a bad move, toward my Hummer. I caught up with her and
grabbed her hair.
“Where the hell are you going to, sister-in-law? Huh? We
need to talk.”
“No, leave me alone!” she cried as she tried to free her
hair from my fingers.
“You owe me an explanation,” I said, as I dragged her to the
Hummer and shoved her into it. I got into the driver’s seat and sped off.
Behind me, Jenna, my mother, and father were running after
the Hummer, screaming my name. I didn’t stop.
“Slow down, Cody!” Bridie cried.
“Why? Why should I, huh? Let us both die. Today. NOW!” I
stepped on the gas.
“CODY, PLEASE STOP!” she begged.
I flashed her a mirthless smile. “Scared? Huh?”
“Why are you doing this?” She was crying now.
“Because I thought I was in a bad dream, but guess what;
it’s true, my brother and my GIRL! Not a dream, honey, just my reality.”
“Cody…”
“Why the hell are you CRYING?” I yelled.
“Cody, I don’t understand; you cheated on me. Why are you
acting like you’re so cut, huh?”
“Cheated on you? What are you talking about, BRIDIE? I never
cheated on you.”
“You did!”
“When? When did I cheat on you, huh? You talking about that
stupid body shot? That was cheating? Huh?”
“No, not the body shot, Cody. The night of the party – you
cheated with Nicole!”
“What are you talking about, Bridie? You’re hallucinating. I
did not cheat with Nicole.”
“Yes, you did, Cody! I walked into your room and saw you
both in bed. I left straight away.”
I shook my head in disbelief. She could lie so blatantly?
Fury overtook me. I locked the steering wheel of the Hummer. It slid across the
road like it was on snow.
“Today, both of us are going to die,” I warned.
