Chaser — Staci Hart

Everyone knows you should never say never. Cooper Moore never saw Maggie Williams coming. She was just his best friend's little sister, the curly-haired, freckle-faced girl from Mississippi who was absolutely off limits. And he never thought about her any other way -- not until he saw her that night, broken and brave. From that moment on, he knew he'd do whatever it took to protect her, even if it meant he had to stay away. Maggie never expected to find her fiancé banging her maid of honor an hour before she was set to walk down the aisle, but life's funny that way. The only option to save her sanity is to get the hell out of Jackson and move to New York where her brother lives. The only downside: Cooper is there too. And she just doesn't know if she can stay away from him -- the filthy rich, dead sexy playboy who's allergic to commitment. The second Maggie sees him again, she realizes he'll be impossible to resist. Luckily, commitment is the last thing on her mind, and Cooper is the perfect escape. As long as she can keep her heart in check, everything will be just fine. Because she can never have feelings for him. Or at least that's what she'll keep telling herself. Chaser is a standalone romantic comedy and book 2 of the Bad Habits series.
