Driven to Distraction — Olivia Dade

IF THE BOOKMOBILE'S ROCKING . . .

Constance Chen is not the demure kind of librarian. Sure, her high-horsepower ride is Big Bertha the Bookmobile, but Con swears a blue streak, does her own home improvement, and wears steel-toed boots. She has a tight circle of friends, a demanding, beloved sprawl of a Chinese-American family, and a strict hookups-only policy when it comes to men. Her life is just how she wants it. Except for one maddeningly sexy footnote.

Sam Wolcott, her friend's baby brother and the library's IT star, has been throwing sparks with Con since he moved to town. To everybody else, he's a thoughtful, sensitive sweetheart. To Con, he's a cantankerous pedant, because if they don't fight nonstop their clothes will spontaneously combust. Sam needs a commitment Con won't -- can't -- give. And neither of them will chance their hard-won bonds for pure lust.

Too bad Con and Sam have a whole week in a very tiny, very private space to sustain their dumb arguments. Alone. What happens in the Bookmobile might take their resistance right out of circulation . . .
