Synopsis:
Sometimes
you can't help falling in love, even when you try to do the
opposite...Successful fashion blogger McKenna Bell has spent far too
long protecting herself after the way her ex-fiancé left her at the
altar for a college chick he met the night of his bachelor party. Loving
again, trusting again, well, that's just not in the cards. Especially
now that her ex is back in town with his new woman, demanding custody of
McKenna's favorite creature in the whole world--her dog. No effing way.
McKenna's had enough of him, and she decides to even the score by
finding her own hot young thing -- a Trophy Husband.
Sure, she's only twenty-seven, but doesn't that make it even more fun
-- and infuriating to her ex -- to pursue a younger man? When she
declares her intentions on her daily blog, her quest quickly skyrockets
in popularity, and that's when Chris enters the picture, and he’s got
all the assets. He's handsome, successful, and turns her inside out with
a kiss to end all kisses, the kind that makes you feel like a shooting
star. But loving again could mean losing again, and it's so much easier
to focus on getting even, isn't it? Unless, you just can't help falling
in love. Which means McKenna will have to come face to face with what
she really wants in life -- protecting her heart from hurt, or letting
go of her fears of a new beginning.

Sneak Peak
I could so fall in love with him. I could fall in
love with him in a heartbeat. He brings his other hand to my waist,
and pulls me in close. He’s seated on the bar stool, and I’m standing
as I slide into the V between his legs, his firm thighs now on either
side of me. The distance between us narrows, and the temperature rises.
Like this, with him so close, I can tell how much he wants me. As much
as I want him. I am turned on beyond belief, my skin is so hot, and
my body is aching all over with the need to be touched, and he knows
it. And just like that, the mood between us here at Circa Rose shifts.
It’s no longer flirty, or chatty, or get to know you. We’re no longer
a guy and girl confessing to crushes and likes. As he plays with the
waistband of my skirt, his hand dipping inside, stroking the bare skin
of my hips just above my panties, we are a man and a woman who want
to get the hell out of here. The air between us electric, like the moments
before a summer storm.
“We don’t need to shoot that promo anymore, do
we?” he asks, and his voice is different now too. It’s smoky and
low, and as he brings me in closer, I can tell he’s gone to the same
place I’ve gone to. Desire. And then the hope that we can take this
contact to another level.
“I was really hoping to see your fancy studio though,”
I tease.
“It has a nice couch.”
“We could do a lot on a couch.”
“It’s ten blocks away.”
“That’s far,” I say, and I’m keenly aware
of how my voice has become a ragged whisper. He has to know what I want
right now. Him. His green eyes are dark, shadowed with lust and staring
intensely into mine. He’s waiting for me to say more. “But I think
I really want to see that couch.”
“Good, because I would really fucking love to make
out with you properly right now.”
