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 losemy heart, and you
go from girl to girl to keep from giving yours away.”
