Undercover — Jen McLaughlin

Joseph Hernandez has wanted Marie since he first saw her outside her college dorm. He tried to make a move on her back then, but she made it very clear she wasn't interested. It's been ten years since that kiss, and she's done nothing but push him away ever since, so the last thing he wants to do is crawl to her on his knees to ask her for her help in an undercover investigation. Marie was still a girl when Joseph scared her by making her…well, feel. At the time she wasn't ready for the kind of things a guy like him brought out in a girl, but now she's ready to open herself up to the possibility that her friends might have been right all this time. When Joseph asks her for a favor, she realizes now is the time to go after what she's always been too afraid to admit she wanted… Joseph as hers.
