Gracie Greene's dating life is a mess. Equipped with her
checklist of what a perfect partner should be, Gracie
keeps
having disastrous dates one after another. Well at least
her
friend Des is on hand to cheer her up.
Des Chapman is the
owner of First, the bar where Gracie takes her dates that
never work out. Des cannot understand why Gracie keeps
dating
these rich, arrogant, idiots when she has so much going
for
her.
Beautiful, funny and sincere, Des is deeply attracted to
Gracie but knows that they would never work out. Gracie
comes
from old money and has a mother who cares more about
keeping
up appearances, than her children's happiness. Besides Des
has
already suffered ridicule and criticism in his past, and
will
never allow that to happen again. So he is determined that
they should only be friends.
Gracie thinks about Des a lot - he is sexy as hell,
caring, a
true friend and they have fun together. However Gracie
knows
that her mother would only end up chasing him away with
her
judgements, and she would never want him hurt like that.
Unwilling to break a promise to her dying father, Gracie
desperately tries to find someone that her mother would
approve of. But her heart refuses to listen and when lust
and
love explodes between Des and Gracie will they be brave
enough
to step out from the shadows and grab hold of each other?
THE RULES ACCORDING TO GRACIE by Stefanie London is a
sexy,
steamy short tale. With a controlling, interfering mother,
Gracie struggles to grasp what she wants in her life. Des
has
his own baggage, trying to deal with the hurt from a past
relationship, and he struggles with his feelings for
Gracie.
THE RULES ACCORDING TO GRACIE by Stefanie London is an
entertaining short story.
Gracie Green has a shopping list for men. Career,
financials, family...and a long list of rules to
determine
a
guy's suitability. She's already disappointed her
socialite
mother once—now Gracie needs to find Mr. Perfect. Too
bad
she keeps getting distracted by her super-sexy,
six-feet-of-tattooed-hotness friend, Des, who is so many
shades of Mr. Wrong...
Bar owner Des Chapman has vowed never again to get
involved
with society girls. Yet he's irresistibly drawn to
Gracie—those lush curves, those lips, and her ridiculous
ability to date the wrong guys. As Gracie's
discouragement
grows, Des realizes it's time to show her what she
really
needs in a man—and it has nothing to do with a briefcase
and
generous bank account. He'll teach Gracie the Rules
According To Des…even if it means breaking his rule in
the
process.
