You might think I had it all - a career I loved, a supportive family, the Nixon metabolism but not the Nixon ears, and a salary that supported my lavish taste in designer shoes, fine wine, and lacy lingerie - but I had no one to share it with. Until the day I ran into him - my one-night stand from college with the crooked smile, let's-get-out-of-here eyes, and dirty, dirty mouth. Cute and cocky then, today Levi Brooks is six feet four inches of hot bearded fantasy.

Theo MacLeod wasn't supposed to be the one. Tall, dark and handsome suits me just fine, but the cocky grin, know-it-all attitude, and mammoth ego? No thanks. I only hired him so I wouldn't have to sit at the singles table again. It was just pretend. He wasn't supposed to kiss me. My heart wasn't supposed to pound. We weren't supposed to spend the night together - the hottest night of my life.

When a psychic tells Natalie Nixon her life is about to be upended by a mysterious stranger, she laughs it off. After all, she has everything she's ever wanted - a successful bakery, the perfect boyfriend, and the keys to her dream house. Who could possibly make her want to throw all that away?

I almost didn't believe it was him. In high school, Sebastian Pryce had been an aloof outsider who kept to himself. But now, 10 years later, he's back and unusually attractive. With muscles in all the right places and hands that know exactly what they're doing, Sebastian is everything I didn't know I needed. And while he isn't exactly friendly, he has a magnetism that draws me in.

Det var som at se et spøgelse. Da min afdøde mands tvillingebror flytter tilbage til vores lille by, vil jeg allerhelst undgå ham. Alt ved Wes minder mig om den mand, jeg har mistet og det liv, vi havde planlagt at få sammen. Efter 18 lange måneder, hvor bare det at stå op har været en kamp, er jeg endelig nået til et sted, hvor jeg har det okay. Jeg har et nyt job, søde mennesker omkring mig og en skøn lille datter.

Sexede, tungsindige cowboys er helt perfekte i film, men i virkelighedens verden foretrækker jeg slips og jakkesæt. Gode manerer. Det glatbarberede look. Jack er barsk, upoleret og ubehøvlet. Han vil ikke have noget at gøre med en ”rig, storbypige” som mig, og det holder han sig ikke tilbage med at give udtryk for.

Det var ikke meningen, at Theo MacLeod skulle være den eneste ene. Tall, dark and handsome passer mig perfekt, men det kæphøje grin, den bedrevidende attitude og det gigantiske ego? Nej tak. Jeg hyrede ham kun for en aften, så jeg ikke ville være nødt til at sidde alene ved singlebordet til et bryllup. Vi skulle bare lade som om.
