Julia Spencer knew Ty Calhoun back in high school, but they
didn't really run in the same circles. If only they had
known how alike they really were, they might have had more
than one date--and one night. Julie's parents were more
interested in their social standing than in their daughter
and her academic achievements. Ty's dad was a mean drunk
who used his son's athletic gifts to make himself feel
important. But they didn't know. So after grad night, the
two parted ways not understanding each other but also never
forgetting. Ten years later, Julia is a successful image
consultant and Ty is the San Francisco Outlaws' star
quarterback. He's also a man who's in desperate need of a
new image. When Julia is hired to help Ty improve his bad
boy image, she's not sure if she's more tempted by the big
paycheck or the man. Ty's got it just as bad as he realizes
that he's been judging every woman since high school
against his memories of Julia.
Soon after they begin working together, Ty and Julia
discover their best form of communication in non-verbal. As
they spend more time together, they begin to openly share
their thoughts and feelings. The more they acknowledge
their passion for each other, the happier they become. But
can they see it or are they still distracted by old hurts.
Will they find ten years has been long enough to get over
the attraction? Or will they find they can finally share
their real feelings and start a future together?
There isn't too much plot to this story, but the characters
are likable and they become more interesting as the book
goes along. There non-verbal conversations are frequent and
they are fairly explicit.
He's the Super Bowl hero
men idolize and women lust after...the bad-boy quarterback
with a
dangerous edge. But behind his devil-may-care grin, Ty
Calhoun hides a
desire that only one woman can ever fulfill -- and a memory
he can't
shake: high school graduation night...and mind-blowing sex
with the
untouchable girl of his dreams. He would trade every trophy
to feel the
heat of her sensual, uninhibited lust once more. And he may
get that
chance...because she's just been hired by the San Francisco
Outlaws'
new owner to make over Ty's less-than-angelic
reputation.
The
country's top image consultant, Julie Spencer is a total pro at
cleaning up the messes of the rich and famous. Even working
with the
man who took her virginity and broke her heart ten years ago
can't
rattle her. Until he touches her again. One caress -- and
one very hot
kiss -- is all it takes to spark the same knee-quaking
electricity, and
soon they're mixing business and extreme pleasure. But
knowing the
danger this bad boy poses to her heart, Julie is determined
to keep her
distance.
But Ty has a game plan of his own. The more he
misbehaves, the more Julie will have to keep tabs on him --
and the
more he can give his dream girl some very real thrills, by
showing her
just how fun it is to be bad. This time around, he's game for
anything...especially winning her heart.
