Don't trust lust at first sight. One woman chooses
reality over fantasy in this friends-to-lovers romance, a
steamy standalone by "an author to keep your eye on" (Katee
Robert).
Jacqueline: As an adult woman--and the vice
president of a marketing firm--I shouldn't be waiting by my
office window to ogle the mystery man who jogs by every
morning at 11:45. Sure, he's a gorgeous, perfect specimen of
the human race, but I can't bring myself to hit on a total
stranger. However, my best friend-slash-colleague Vince
Carson thinks I should do more than talk to the guy. In
fact, he's borderline obsessive about "getting me laid."
(His words.) But the more time we spend together, the more
it's clear: The one I'm falling for is Vince.
Vince: Jackie Butler's got it bad for some
pompous, over-pumped A-hole who struts his stuff past her
window. That doesn't bother me. I know she deserves nice
things. What does bother me is that she friend-zoned
me big-time last year, so I can't ask her out myself. But
what if I set her up with Mr. Steroids? Then, when he breaks
her heart, I can swoop in and save her like the nice guy I
am. Everything's going according to plan . . . until we
share a ridiculously epic kiss. And suddenly anything is
possible.
