Tangling with the Player — Debra Elise

THEAI'm not sure what made me do it.The devil? Too easy.My boss? Maybe.My screaming libido? Ding, ding, ding—we have a winner.Winning a dinner date with the hunky baseball player at the charity auction hadn't been my intention. My boss dared me.My family and friends constantly tell me I need to lighten up—I'm too serious, career driven, and they say I scare men away. Whatever. But there's something about him and a dare's a dare, right?He promises to keep his hands to himself, but do I want to hold him to his promise or ask him to show to me what it's like to be desired by the league's hottest player?BROCKIt's my last year in the league and the PR department talks me into a bachelor auction. It's for my favorite charity so I dust off my tux and play the role that's unfairly followed me my entire career—playboy athlete.She's the opposite of my usual type. She has brains and beauty. She's a little grumpy, but nothing I can't handle. Besides, once I sit across from her, I can't stop thinking how she'd taste and look after a night spent in my bed.Thinking fast because I can't let her walk away, I tell her I could use some help with upcoming social events and ask her to be my fake girlfriend. Incredibly, she agrees.I suspect she sees right through my lame attempts at impressing her, but I'm determined to put some sunshine into her life, chasing away her grumpy façade on the way to my first and last happily ever-after.Welcome to Pineville, Idaho where love always finds a way.★♥★Each short story in the Tangling Series features characters in their 30s & 40s who decide to live their lives to the fullest, and that includes experiencing steamy, sexy times.
