Synopsis
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
The cadence of his breathing filled the
room and Maggie decided she was glad he was there.
“Jace?”
“What?”
“Why do you do it?”
“Do what?”
“Go from girl to girl. My mother was
promiscuous because she tried to make up for everything wrong in her life—no
relationship with her family, a kid she didn’t want. But you have the most
wonderful family in the world. And you have friends—and talent. I don’t
understand what you’re trying to compensate for.”
He didn’t say anything, so she said, “You
don’t have to answer. I shouldn’t have asked. I just finished telling you to
stay out of my business and now I’m butting into yours.”
“It isn’t that I don’t want to answer.
It’s—I don’t know the answer. Maybe it’s evolutionary psychology. You know,
spill your seeds and all that crap.”
“You’re kidding, right? That theory has to
do with finding the best candidate for breeding to produce the best offspring.
It isn’t an excuse to screw every female in Texas. Unless you’re saying you
want to impregnate women to create a bunch of little football All-American’s?”
“Hell, no. My policy is no glove, no love.
I’m saying, could be, men aren’t supposed to be monogamous.”
“You’re speaking for your entire gender?”
“Yeah.”
“So—your dad could have women on the side
and that would be okay.”
“No! All right, you’ve made your point.
Some men can be happy with one woman.”
“But not you.”
He rolled up on his elbow and rested his
face in his hand. “I don’t know how to say this without sounding like a
complete jerk. I guess I do it because I can. From the time I was in junior
high, girls have thrown themselves at me and all I’ve done is take advantage of
it. I’ve never lied to get a girl to sleep with me. I’ve never told one I loved
her or promised forever. I don’t even spend the night. They know what to expect
from me.” He flopped back down. “Maybe I’ve slept with more than my share, but
I don’t consider myself a bad guy. Do you?”
“Does it matter what I think?”
“Yeah.”
“Well then, I think you’re just as
emotionally unavailable as I am. I avoid men because I’m afraid I’ll lose my heart, and you go from girl to girl
to keep from giving yours away.”
