Lou Cortez—badass mechanic, amazing paint specialist, artist extraordinaire, and
lady killer. Lou knows women. He's got his mother, grandmother, five sisters,
and over a dozen other female relatives living close by. He respects women,
admires women, but there's one particular woman he's been crushing on for a while.
Unfortunately, she won't give him the time of day. So Lou's refined his
technique, narrowing it down to 5 MUST DO's. One way or the other, he'll
get Josephine Reeves's attention. God willing…
Smile more. Women love a man who has a sense of humor. And growing up with
his family, humor was a must. (God, could his sister Stella just once not date a
d*ckhead?)
Study the guys and figure out how they did it. His best friends and fellow
mechanics, men with way less going on than Lou, managed to snag some
fine women. An almost impossibility, considering what normally comes out of the
guys' mouths. How the hell did they do it?
The next time he sees her, Lou plans to hold back a little on the charm. No
doubt he overwhelmed her, as fine as he is. Thinking about it, he finds that
understandable.
Woo her with the truth. He just needs to show Joey he's sincere, and that
since meeting her, his life hasn't been the same. (Now how to work that into
conversation without scaring her away…?)
Show her how good it can be between them. Lou knows what he's doing between
the sheets. And as soon as he can get the gorgeous woman in his sights, he'll do
his best to show her what she's been missing.
Take a look at Lou's skills and see what you think about his chances…
EXCERPT:
The flowers were for his sister. Oh man. He's sexy as sin, he has a body to
die for, and now he's buying flowers for his sister?
Joey softened toward him. "Do you know her favorite flower or color? A scent
maybe? Did you want sophisticated or simple? How old is she?"
"Ah, something cool. I don't know. She's gonna be twenty-three." He rattled off
a few ideas, and she made quick notes.
"I can have this for you by…" She paused to check the computer. "Tomorrow. Would
that work?"
"Hell. I really need them today. Her birthday isn't until Friday, but she got
some shitty news, so I wanted to give them to her when I see her later. I'm
willing to pay extra, no problem."
Adding charming and thoughtful to the Lou List, Joey did her
best not to moon over the man and kept a straight face. "Well, if you can wait
until the end of the day, I'll try to fit them in. We close at seven. Is that
okay?"
His face broke out into a relieved smile. "Gracias, Joey. You're doing
me a huge favor."
Ignoring his smile, she called on her inner manager. "Well, you're doing
something nice for your sister. And I know all about crappy days."
"Yeah?" He leaned closer, and she caught a waft of motor oil and crisp cologne,
an odd blend of manly and sexy that nearly knocked her on her ass. "Who tried to
ruin your day, sweetheart? I can fix that."
He's always had a way with the ladies She won't give him the time
of day Sparks fly when two hearts in motion collide.
Florist Joey Reeves is working overtime to stay away from Lou Cortez, the ace
mechanic with a reputation for irresistible charm. She's a single mom with
enough on her plate—the last thing she needs is entanglement with the hottest
guy in town...
"Well, hello there."
Joey glanced up and froze. The man who'd been haunting her sleep looked even
better in the hard light of day. "H-hello." She coughed. The guys who worked at
Webster's Garage all looked larger than life, covered in tattoos, muscles, and
that indefinable sense of danger they wore like a second skin. But this guy, the
tall, Latin lover with dark-brown eyes and lips made for kissing, who had snared
her.
