My name is Mari. I'm of average height, average weight, average looks and I hold an average position at Hardy's All Goods, my personal version of retail hell. To sum up, I'm nothing special. So why has Devon Campbell, the city's Most Eligible Bachelor—and my unrequited high-school crush—suddenly crashed back into my life, claiming I'm the one who got away? Devon can't possibly want to keep me for the long haul, right? My screwed-up past is enough to make anyone run screaming in the opposite direction. Still, he's determined I give him a chance...and I'd be crazy to turn down his offer of a two-week trial.
Megan: He loves me, he loves me not. He loves me...okay, the truth is he doesn't really like me right now, but I have a plan to change his mind. I see the way he looks at me with heat in his eyes. Sean Maxwell might be a confirmed bachelor, but a taste of Ms. Megan Nettle is just what he needs to soften his hard exterior. And once I get him in my bed, he won't want to leave. There's nothing some hot lovin' can't fix. But my persistence backfires when he decides he's too dangerous for little ol' me. Something in his past is driving a wedge between us, and he's determined to stay away. That's not going to happen. This calls for some serious seduction. I'll use those sparks between us to melt away his rule of two dates max.
