Drew Evans, a confident playboy and successful businessman, suddenly isolates himself, claiming he has the flu. The real reason? Katherine Brooks, a smart and ambitious new hire at his father’s firm, turns his life upside down. Drew’s attraction to her challenges his arrogance, leading him to question everything. Can he win at love?
I fill her in on Drew and Steven and Alexandra and how growing up with them saved me from ever feeling like an only child. I tell her about the coolest four-year-old I know, Mackenzie, and that I would hang with that kid every day of the week if I could. By the time I…
So that’s how it started. It wasn’t supposed to be complicated-no love at first sight, no grand gestures, no hard feelings. A sure thing, a good time, a one-night stand with an option for a second. That’s what Kate told me Dee was into, and that’s all I was looking for. All I thought it…
Then I flop back on my awesome, king-size bed and grab the golden ticket from the pocket of my discarded pants. I finger the letters on the bright green cardstock. DEE WARREN CHEMIST LINTRUM FUELS And I remember the soft, smooth flesh that swelled from the confines of her tight, pink shirt. My dick twitches-guess…
Did I think Delores was a hottie when I met her this afternoon? I need to get my vision checked. Because she’s so much more. Her strawberry blond hair is down, curled under at the ends, pulled back from her face with a thick black hair band. A black, tuxedo-like jacket covers her torso, with…
Kate rolls her eyes. Then she says, “I’ve always liked the name Dalton.” “I’m not even going to dignify that with a response.” “O-kay. Colin.” I scoff, “No way. Sounds too much like ‘colon.’ They’ll be calling him Asshole the minute he steps foot on the playground.” Kate looks at me incredulously. “Are you sure…
Number One-people don’t change. There’s no magic bullet. No bibbety-fucking-boo. What you see is what you get. Sure, certain habits can be tweaked. Reined in. Like my propensity for making snap judgments. The very idea of assuming I know everything-without checking with Kate first-now makes me sick to my stomach. But other characteristics, they stick.…
Okay, at the moment, Kate is . . . stretched. Delicate. Like a water balloon that’s been filled too much. I’ve had to make conscious effort to take it easy with her in the sex department. Slow and gentle, despite some fantastically creative positions. But now, the things she’s saying-her voice-Christ, it’s all I can…
I almost slam the car into a goddamn telephone pole. “What! What’s wrong?” “I forgot the sour apple lollipops!” “The what?” Her voice is heavy with disappointment. “The sour apple lollipops. Alexandra said they were the only thing that quenched her thirst when she was in labor with Mackenzie. I was going to pick some…
ER should come with a warning label. It’s disturbing. If you’re a mild hypochondriac or a parent to be, expect to lose a shitload of sleep after just one episode. “I know, but-“ Roberta puts her hand up. “Look, I know how you feel-“ “Do you?” I ask sharply. “Have you ever taken your whole…
You know when you’re cleaning your garage? And you have to gut it-dump out boxes of shit, clear the shelves-before you can put it all back together again? It was a lot like that. We talked in-depth about what we’d been up to during our hiatus. And let me tell you-those conversations were about as…
