Opposed Desires — Katherine McIntyre

Closet Romantic falling for the Hookup Queen? Never gonna happen… until one memorable vacation changes it all. When it comes to women, Aubrey Moore believes in no-strings-attached hookups and keeping things simple. On her beach trip, her plan is clear—hit the bars and find single hotties. What she doesn't bargain on is the phone call from her sister. Distraught, Aubrey would like to have a breakdown in private, but the one woman who's never fallen for her slick lines takes her by surprise and blurs her simple rules. The last thing owner of the Renegades bar, Selina Beckett, expects to see on vacation is Aubrey Moore in the middle of a personal crisis. Every time they meet, they clash—whether Aubrey was picking up women at Selina's bar or flirting to try and get her attention. Selina's not interested in flings, cheaters, or womanizers, so she's made a point to avoid Aubrey at all costs. But this raw, real side of Aubrey convinces her to bend those rules, just a little. The more Selina gets to know Aubrey beyond the bravado, the more she begins to fall. But each day closer to the end of their vacation marks a return to reality—one where this entanglement between them won't survive.
