Excerpt:
“You
know, you’re not anything like I really imagined you were.”
“Is
that a compliment?”
“I
suppose it might be.” Her lips twisted like she didn’t want to admit it. I
couldn’t stop from chuckling. Why did this woman dislike me? Instead of it
turning me off, I was curious.
“Okay,
then, how about this. You take care of my truck, I’ll do your favor, and then
tonight, you let me take you out for dinner.”
“You
don’t even know what the favor is.”
“Doesn’t
matter. I’ll still do it, and I still want you across the table from me so I
can keep proving how much of a non-asshole I am.”
“You’re
sort of pushy, you know that?”
“I
prefer ‘determined’ when I see something I want.” I flicked my hand out.
“What’s the favor?”
“She glanced toward the door to the garage and
sighed again. “My dad’s a fan—”
“Just
your dad?” I teased.
She
huffed, lips pressed into a pout and continued, ignoring me. “It’s just, I was
wondering, it doesn’t have to be much, nothing big at all…but could you
autograph—”
“Done.”
We had boatloads of crap in the marketing department I could grab. I’d take
care of it and blow her mind with my generosity. And it wasn’t just because I
tried to do everything I could for fans, but because she was pretty when she
blushed.
Even
prettier as her eyes went soft when she mentioned her dad.
Spectacular
as she gritted out her favor like asking for something from someone was worse
than getting teeth pulled without Novocain.
“Yeah?”
she asked. “That’d be really great. But dinner, I don’t know.”
The
pretty little liar. Her blush told me she wanted it. “Tonight, whenever. You
make the call, and it’s not payback for the favor or you fixing my truck. I
just want to share a meal with you.”
“Why?
Because you want in my pants?”
Her
tone was snippy and her shoulders tightened. She’d handed me a loaded gun and
hell if I was going to shoot myself with it.
I
closed the five feet of space between us, making her step backward until she
was almost plastered to my truck.
“I
do want in your pants, Paige. Any American male who watches you for longer than
two seconds probably wants the same. And I’ll take my time getting there if I
have to, so I’m not going to be a dick and lie, and I’m not being a dick by
being honest. I’m just honest. But dinner is because you’re pretty, and for
some reason I can’t explain, I want to know why you look so damn exhausted, why
you just asking me for help made you look like you want to puke, and why you
did it anyway. So basically, I just want to talk to you. Get to know you. I’m
interested and I’m not going to hide that either. It’s not my style.”
“Wow.”
Her cheeks had turned pink while I was talking and by the time I was done, her
lips were parted. “That’s a lot to discuss at dinner.”
“Then
we’ll tack on drinks and dessert at the end.”

BLURB
The
Raleigh Rough Riders are back, and this time Super Bowl Quarterback Beaux Hale
finds himself playing the most important game of his life.
Every
woman knows Beaux Hale is nothing but a player. Yet the first time he walks
into Paige Halloway’s restaurant and flashes his sexy grin, she feels a heat
between them spark. Too bad he opens his mouth and ruins it.
He may
think his money, fame, and sexy looks will attract any woman—but he’s wrong.
Paige
doesn’t have time for a man. She’s too busy keeping a roof over her head and
taking care of her father to care about relationships.
Lucky
for Beaux, he’s a man who's ready to use all the plays at his disposal. He
didn’t bring his team a Super Bowl victory by giving up at the first block in
his path—and Paige Halloway has just become his new long-game.
Beaux
also knows that sometimes, in order to win and claim your prize, you have to
get a little bit filthy.
