Make Me Believe — Crystal Jordan

She has two words for love. “Make me.” Then love changes the rules…

As far as hairstylist Celia Occam is concerned, she's struck out at marriage twice, and there will be no “third time's a charm”. So what if one salon employee and the town gossip seem dead set on fixing her up with Prince Charming. She's nobody's princess.

She's all for scratching the occasional itch with the right man, but flirtatious firefighter Mason Delacroix is all wrong. Besides, with three broken engagements on his romantic rap sheet, even a one-night mattress mambo sounds like a bad idea.

From the first moment Mason encounters Celia's emotional barriers, he's determined to turn up the heat as high as it takes to melt the ice. If the whole town wants to back him up by playing Cupid, he's on board. Track record be damned. He wants Celia, and he's ready for permanent.

When her self-appointed guardian angels conspire to lock them in the basement, their long-denied chemistry explodes. She finds herself relishing every moment -- though her subconscious is already on the run.

Funny thing, though. Every time she zigs, Mason's already zagged. Making her wonder if this time it's for real, or if Cupid is just up to its old tricks.

Warning: A hairdresser with a slight fetish for naughty lingerie. A sexy fireman who knows what he wants, which includes having said hairdresser in every possible way. Frontways, backways, sideways…and always.
