Blurb
Jace
Sloan has it all. He's smoking hot, a college football star with a storybook
family, and he's never met a woman he couldn't charm. He's also never met one
who makes him want to be a better man...until he meets Maggie. Now, this
self-proclaimed geek with wild red hair and the greenest eyes he's ever seen
has him thinking all kinds of crazy thoughts. Like settling down and being a
one-woman man.
Maggie
Fielding is anything but Jace's type. For starters, her IQ is bigger than her
chest size. But Jace is panty melting hot, and she's having a hard time
remembering that he’s bad news. If only she could stop telling him her secrets,
because her answers to his questions just might have both of them falling in
love for the first time.
Excerpt
Maggie sat across from Sarah in their sunny kitchen,
forked a piece of blueberry crumb cake and tried to devise a plan. When Jace
suggested meeting at his parents’ house, he’d caught her off guard, but now
after more thought, she was more determined than ever to end the
arrangement. Of course, the too many interruptions excuse wouldn’t work
anymore and she couldn’t tell him the real reason. He was a player in
more than football. He was charming. Too charming. She knew his
variety well, because she’d watched plenty of charismatic men use her mother.
Maggie swore to never let that happen to her.
“So what do you plan to tell Jace?” Sarah asked.
“What if I claim I’m too busy?” She leaned forward,
chin in hand, and hoped her friend agreed. “It’s true, I am busy.”
Sarah picked up a stray berry and popped it into her
mouth. “You know what your problem is?”
“What?” She folded her arms and several frizzy curls fell
into her face. Sarah pushed a sleek blond strand behind her ear and Maggie
regarded her with envy, but then remembered Jace’s remark. You have
beautiful hair. When he’d said it, her heart had fluttered. What was up
with that?
“You are so far out of your element. You have no
first-hand experience with someone like him and considering your mother’s
parade of dysfunctional relationships, getting involved with the same kind of
guy isn’t such a hot idea. The minute you googled him and saw how gorgeous he
was, you should have bowed out.”
“His looks have nothing to do with it.” Her throat
tightened with the lie. Just because she had an IQ greater than her bust size
didn’t stop her from appreciating a handsome man. She was human after all.
“Not now. But at some point, you’ll fall under his spell.
You have book sense, but you don’t have any boy sense.”
Sarah’s words cut deep. Maggie had spent a lifetime of
feeling unimportant while her mother had gotten so wrapped up in men like Jace,
she’d forgotten she had a daughter. No, Maggie decided. Regardless of how
beautiful he was, or the fact she was beginning to like him, Sarah’s advice was
sound. Maggie couldn’t risk involvement. “Well, I’m ending it tonight, so no
worries.”
