Running
into your one-night stand is a special kind of awkward. Competing against him
in a wine tasting contest is delicious torment…
On
Rachel’s twenty-seventh birthday, she wishes to finally find a rewarding job.
What she doesn’t wish is to drink a boatload of wine, sleep with a tattooed bad
boy, and drunk email her boss in one glorious, career-ending move. But the
fiasco pushes her to pursue a career inspired by her late father’s love of
wine: sommelier.
Unfortunately,
she’s competing against her infuriating one-night stand, a man as intoxicating
as a Pinot Noir.
Two
years ago, Jimmy was set to inherit his family winery. Then it got ripped from
his grasp. To close that dark chapter of his life, he plans to win a local
sommelier contest and use the press to expose his family’s tainted wines.
Jimmy
loves studying the streaks of alcohol that cling to a wineglass, known as the
wine’s “legs,” but other shapely legs are stealing his focus. Tantalizing legs.
Legs that had wrapped around his waist for one wild night. Jimmy, sadly, has a
weakness for legs.
He also
hates to lose.
LEGS is
a full-length, standalone Smart, Sexy Romantic Comedy with a swoony Happily
Ever After. No cheating or cliff-hangers here! Perfect for fans of Christina
Lauren, Avery Flynn, Alice Clayton, Emma Chase, and Lauren Blakely.

The last person
I wanted to see walked into the restaurant, and I tensed.
Her frantic gaze
was forced to me, and the only three vacant seats. She searched the room in
vain, the rounding of her spine a clue she wasn’t thrilled about her options.
She looked out the way she came, squeezed her eyes, then squared her shoulders
and marched toward me.
Part of me—the
lower half—wanted to pin her to the wall with my thighs while I hitched that
proper little skirt higher. The other part hoped she’d wandered into the wrong
place. Not because our night together had been bad, or the fact that she’d
disappeared without a trace. No. The thing that had the tendons in my neck
bunching was remembering how good it all was. Too good and too much fun, and
I’d imagined rounds two and three and four ad nauseam. But rounds always ended
in a knockout punch.
This girl was
nothing but trouble.
She paused at
the table, drew in a long breath, mumbled something as she exhaled, then glared
at the seat beside me and the ones across. She chose beside, probably to face
the room.
The only reason
we’d hooked up two weeks ago was because there were no names and no strings.
She’d admitted how hard it would be for her to relax, how awkward she’d feel
afterward. The relaxing part I took care of with one brush of my lips. The
awkward was still alive and kicking.
What went down
between us couldn’t happen again. Distractions over the next two months weren’t
an option, and repeat affairs led to feelings, and feelings led to promises,
and promises were nothing but lies dressed up to seduce. Not an outcome I was
keen to revisit. Still, I couldn’t ignore her anxiety, as long as she wasn’t
here because of me.
I leaned toward
her. “You’re the last person I expected to see.”
She squished her
lithe body farther from mine. “Kind of coincidental, don’t you think? Did you
follow me?”
“I got here
before you. If anyone is stalking, it’s you tailing me.”
Indignation
colored her cheeks. “I didn’t follow you. I saw a flyer and thought the contest
looked interesting, but you obviously read it, too. If I’d known you’d be
here”—aggravation laced her hushed tone—“I’d never have shown up.”
Her harsh words
had me fisting my hands, or maybe it was how tempting the line of her neck
looked, that column of tanned skin shifting as she swallowed. But she was
right: having a diversion wouldn’t help my plan. “Then we’re on the same page.”
“Excuse me?”
“Since we’re
both here for the contest, we can pretend that night never happened.”
Her face fell,
but a beat later, she said, “Good,” nothing but ice in her voice.
I followed with
“Great.”
She spat,
“Fine.”
So much for
stamping out the awkward.

bouncing around in her head. She’s also an incurable romantic, devouring
romance novels into the wee hours of the morning.
