Jace
Sloan has it all. He's smoking hot, a college football star with a storybook
family, and he's never met a woman he couldn't charm. He's also never met one
who makes him want to be a better man...until he meets Maggie. Now, this
self-proclaimed geek with wild red hair and the greenest eyes he's ever seen
has him thinking all kinds of crazy thoughts. Like settling down and being a
one-woman man.
Maggie
Fielding is anything but Jace's type. For starters, her IQ is bigger than her
chest size. But Jace is panty melting hot, and she's having a hard time
remembering that he’s bad news. If only she could stop telling him her secrets,
because her answers to his questions just might have both of them falling in
love for the first time.
Ann’s
been married to the same man since dirt. She loves shopping at GoodWill. Hates
talking on the telephone and a really sharp pencil makes her happy.
She
lives in Texas where she drinks too many Diet Dr. Peppers and bakes way too
many sweet thangs!
The cadence of his breathing
filled the room and Maggie decided she was glad he was there.
“Jace?”
“What?”
“Why do you do it?”
“Do what?”
“Go from girl to girl. My
mother was promiscuous because she tried to make up for everything wrong in her
life—no relationship with her family, a kid she didn’t want. But you have the
most wonderful family in the world. And you have friends—and talent. I don’t
understand what you’re trying to compensate for.”
He didn’t say anything, so
she said, “You don’t have to answer. I shouldn’t have asked. I just finished
telling you to stay out of my business and now I’m butting into yours.”
“It isn’t that I don’t want
to answer. It’s—I don’t know the answer. Maybe it’s evolutionary psychology.
You know, spill your seeds and all that crap.”
“You’re kidding, right? That
theory has to do with finding the best candidate for breeding to produce the
best offspring. It isn’t an excuse to screw every female in Texas. Unless
you’re saying you want to impregnate women to create a bunch of little football
All-American’s?”
“Hell, no. My policy is no
glove, no love. I’m saying, could be, men aren’t supposed to be monogamous.”
“You’re speaking for your
entire gender?”
“Yeah.”
“So—your dad could have women
on the side and that would be okay.”
“No! All right, you’ve made
your point. Some men can be happy with one woman.”
“But not you.”
He rolled up on his elbow and
rested his face in his hand. “I don’t know how to say this without sounding
like a complete jerk. I guess I do it because I can. From the time I was in
junior high, girls have thrown themselves at me and all I’ve done is take
advantage of it. I’ve never lied to get a girl to sleep with me. I’ve never
told one I loved her or promised forever. I don’t even spend the night. They
know what to expect from me.” He flopped back down. “Maybe I’ve slept with more
than my share, but I don’t consider myself a bad guy. Do you?”
“Does it matter what I
think?”
“Yeah.”
“Well then, I think you’re
just as emotionally unavailable as I am. I avoid men because I’m afraid I’ll
lose my heart, and you go from girl
to girl to keep from giving yours away.”
