Excerpt!
He reached across the table and took my hand in his. A spark raced up my arm—my body was always doing strange things like that when Chase touched me.
"Is this okay?" he asked.
I nodded. "It's fine. Hand-holding is a little grade school. But everyone has to start somewhere."
Chase raised a brow. "I thought most women considered it one of the most romantic gestures. Right next to being a good listener and doing surprising, thoughtful things."
"We're talking about foreplay here," I said. "Not romance."
"Aren't they connected?"
Yes, I thought. But romance was so much more personal, and it would be a lot easier if Chase just stuck to the sexy, no-strings script.
His fingers tightened on mine as I sighed.
"How about this then," he said.
He kept his eyes on mine, bringing my hand to his lips.
The way he kissed each one of my knuckles before laying a last lingering kiss right in the center of my palm sent shivers down my spine.
"That's…really good. Where'd you learn how to do that?" I asked, trying my best to keep my voice steady.

She’s playing to win.
Okay, so I probably shouldn’t have made that bet with Emmy. But come on! She was challenging me. Attract a guy in seven days? No problem.
Well…maybe just one.
The guy she chooses is her brother, Chase O’Brien aka golden-boy-Virgin and star pitcher for the Wolves. Unlike most guys, Chase seems immune to my charms—but I’ve always loved a challenge.
He’s playing for keeps.
Charlie never should’ve made that bet with my baby sister. But if she uses her magic touch to heal my arm and gets me back in the game? It’s all good.
Actually, the more time we spend together, the harder I fall. I always knew I’d recognize my soulmate when I found her—and Charlie’s the one.
Even if she doesn’t know it yet.
This new adult sports romance features a strong heroine with a soft center, a hot-bookish hero who believes in true love and a sexy set of brothers guaranteed to make you swoon.
Love is always the perfect play.
