Steering clear of relationships has
never been difficult for demolitions expert Cole Bowen, but now, with his
brother's engagement sending the female population into full-blown hysterics
and the town of Alden's month-long festivities helping along, he finds himself in hell. When
he discovers Alden's new resident and the object of all his wet dreams,
Christine Sheridan, has sworn off relationships and is going to hire a gigolo
to get professionally laid, he decides to kill two birds with one stone.
Christy is so not drinking again.
Thanks to José Cuervo she has her friends signing her up for stud conventions
and Cole frigging Bowen offering sex in exchange of fake dates, which is so out
of the question it isn't even funny. She knows the domineering man will push
her boundaries, and after battling all her life with self-esteem issues, she
isn't ready for that. Too bad he won't take no for an answer.
Cole is determined to strip away all
of her defenses but refuses to lower his ever-present walls, so when Christy
realizes she wants more, she's left with only two options; walk away or crack
his shield and risk her heart in the process.
