Shattered Pieces

If I Break Series by Portia Moore Publication Date: April 30, 2017 Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

When you’re heartbroken, it lies beneath everything that you do. It’s in all of who you are. Foreshadows who you’ll be. It hides underneath your smile, rests between your laugh, revels in your tears and taunts your every thought. You wish it away but are too terrified to let it go…. When Cal first disappeared I swore my heart had broken, and before all of this is over I swear it will shatter into pieces.

Title: Dirty Princes: A Standalone MMF Romantic Comedy
Author: Jo Raven 
Genre: Menage Romance 
 Cover Designer: RBA Designs | Romantic Book Affairs











Once upon a time, there lived a princess called Brylee who had a cat and a steady job and her eye on a handsome prince.
But Prince Ryan refused to put out. So she baked cookies and buttered muffins, without any double meaning whatsoever, and saved her cherry for her prince.
Who was being difficult and not following the damn script.
Then Riddick walked through the door and ate her cookie.
Literally, okay? It was a good cookie, too, with chocolate chip.
Riddick is drop-dead gorgeous, but not a prince. Regardless, Brylee can’t fight that burning attraction.
Even when Ryan does a turn-about and starts showing interest in her, after all this time.
This isn’t how things were supposed to happen. She was supposed to get a prince, not get caught between a hot prince and a hunky pauper.
Come on.
Especially not when said prince and pauper can’t stand each other.
Brylee isn’t above letting two men fight for her. That’s the essence of a good fairytale, right? A fight, a winner, a grand wedding and a happily ever after.
It’s fine. After all, she doesn’t want them both.
At the same time. In her bed. Like, ever.

Reconnaissance.
With a wink at Simone, I get up from my rowing machine and grab my towel, then make my way toward him.
This is a huge gym, new, the machines gleaming, the people dressed in trendy exercise clothes, their MP3 players flashing as they move. Strong, lithe bodies, with barely any hint of sweat.
Self-consciously I adjust my top. It’s like everyone passed an exam to enter. It makes me wonder how Simone and I made the cut.
Not that I don’t take care of my body. I sure do, and I even drag my best friend Candy along when she’s not too busy having wild sex with her two boyfriends.
Two. Boyfriends. Did you catch that?
Total overkill if you ask me. And still no idea how she did it. I’ve been trying to get one guy—Ryan—for the past year, one—and still no dice.
It doesn’t matter. It will be worth it in the end. Not everyone gets their soulmate on the first try.
Or the hundredth, for that matter. Hundred-and-twenty-fifth to be precise. Hey, it’s a good number. These things take work.
And I do work it as I approach Ryan, as Simone advised me to do after watching Pretty Woman, swinging my hips and lifting my chin, letting my ponytail swish against my back.
He’s getting ready to start, draping his manly black towel on the seat of a rowing machine and… whoa.
Red alert. His T-shirt molds to an impressively sculpted chest and set of shoulders, his corded arms in full display, a picture straight out of Men’s Health magazine.
Holy guacamole.
Woo.
But of course I shouldn’t be shocked. I chose him. He’s everything a man should be. He just has to see I am the girl for him.
That’s why he’s single. He’s been waiting for me all along.

    Title: Book Boyfriend
    Author: Claire Kingsley
    Genre: Contemporary Romance
     Release Date: April 6, 2017



    Blurb

    He's too hot for words.

    Mia 

    Alex Lawson might as well be the hottest book boyfriend imaginable. A fun, romantic, possessive, panty-melting man. And the best part?

    He’s real.

    For a girl like me—a slightly awkward book addict—Alex is a dream come true, straight off the pages of my favorite romance novels. But our story is turning into a whirlwind romance—the kind that only exists in books.

    And I wonder if we’re heading toward our own happily ever after, or if he’s too good to be true.


    Alex

    Here’s the thing. I’m not a bad guy. Lying to Mia wasn’t part of the plan.

    Finding success as a romance author using a female pen name wasn’t part of the plan either. But sometimes life takes unexpected turns.

    Like realizing the woman you’re falling for is your alter-ego’s online best friend.

    Online, she thinks I’m a woman named Lexi. In person, she knows I’m all man. I want to worship her body and claim every inch of her.

    But if she finds out the truth, I could lose everything.

    Mister Moneybags Excerpt Reveal

    Click to se    MMB banner 1  

    IMG_5273

    I met Bianca in an elevator.

    She was on her way to interview me when we got stuck.

    The beautiful, raven-haired reporter assumed I was a delivery guy because of the way I was dressed.

    She had no clue I was really Dex Truitt, the wealthy, successful businessman she’d dubbed “Mister Moneybags”—her afternoon appointment.

    Bianca told me how much she hated Dex’s type—snobby, over educated, silver- spooned men who didn't appreciate the simple things in life.

    So, after the elevator finally started moving again, I cancelled the interview and let her believe I was someone I wasn’t—a bike messenger named Jay. I loved the way she looked at the fake me and didn't want it to end.

    I began dating her as “Jay”—all the while letting her interview the real me over email.

    I didn’t expect that our chemistry online would be just as hot.

    I didn’t expect the mess I’d gotten myself into.

    I didn’t expect that Jay and Dex would fall in love with her.

    And she was falling for two men.

    Only, both men were me.

    And when she found out, we were both going to lose her.

    Nothing could have prepared me for that day. And I certainly wasn't prepared for what came after.

    All good things must come to an end, right? Except our ending was one I didn't see coming.

    MEET BIANCA

    I sighed audibly. Are we even moving? It was seriously the slowest elevator I’d ever taken. Frustrated, and maybe a bit anxious to get the interview over with, I took another shot at the elevator panel. Again, pressing the button repeatedly, I groaned, “Come on. I’m already freakin’ late.” I breathed a sigh of relief when the car seemed to finally pick up speed. But then, it jolted to an abrupt stop, and the elevator went pitch black. “Well now you’ve gone and broken the damn thing,” a deep voice said from behind me. Startled, I jumped and bobbled my cell phone in the dark, which resulted in it falling. From the sound of it smashing against the floor, I knew it had broken. “Shit! Look what you made me do.” I bent over and patted the floor, but I couldn’t find it. “Can you at least give me some light so I can find my phone?” “It would be my pleasure.” “Thank you,” I huffed. “If I had a cell phone on me.” “Are you kidding? You don’t have a cell phone on you? Who walks around without their cell phone?” “Maybe you should try it. If you weren’t so obsessed with yours, we wouldn’t be in this predicament.” I stood, and my hands went to my hips. “How so?” “Well, you were so busy typing away on your phone, you didn’t even notice another passenger was in the car with you.” “And?” “Had you seen me, you wouldn’t have jumped hearing my voice and broken your phone. Then we would have had light, and you would be able to see that elevator panel well enough to push that button another twenty or thirty times. I’m sure that would’ve helped.” I felt the man moving around behind me. “What are you doing?” When he answered, his voice came from a different place. It was to my left and beneath me. “I’m on the floor looking for your cell phone.” It really was pitch dark. I couldn’t see a thing, but I felt the air move, and I knew he must have stood back up. “Put your hand out.” “You’re going to put my phone in it, right?” “No, I’ve taken down my pants and I’m going to stick my dick in it. Christ, you’re really a bitch, aren’t you?” Thinking he couldn’t see me, I smiled at his sarcasm and put out my hand. “Just give me my phone.”      

    MEET DEX

      Wow. My little ball player was quite the fox. I’d only seen her from the back before the lights went out. Now, I was staring into her beautiful, big brown eyes, feeling like this elevator mishap wasn’t such a bad thing after all. She cleared her throat. “The lights came back, but we’re still stuck.” I clicked on some of the buttons. “Seems that way. But this is a step in the right direction. I bet this thing will be moving in no time.” And by this thing moving, I do not mean my dick, although I could have sworn I felt it twitch when she just licked her beautiful full lips. Do that again. Fuck. She is beautiful. My eyes travelled down the length of her body then back up again, loving how the small buttons on her conservative blouse formed a path up to her delicate neck. I wouldn’t have minded sucking on that skin. Maybe I could entice her to play hooky with me. “Where are you headed once we get out of here?” I asked. “The thirty-fourth floor,” she said. What? What is she doing going up to my floor? I know she doesn’t work for me. I would have remembered that face, those eyes. “What kind of business you have going on up there?” “I actually have the pleasure of interviewing Mister Moneybags himself.” My stomach sank. Ohhhh. This didn’t bode well for me. I swallowed then cocked my head to the side and played dumb. “Who?” “The elusive Dexter Truitt. He’s the CEO of Montague Enterprises. They occupy the entire top floor.” Trying to seem like I was not seriously about to lose my shit, I asked, “Why do you call him Mister Moneybags?” “I just picture him to be this crabby, money-hungry asshole, I guess. Sounds like a fitting name. Of course, I don’t actually know him.” “Why do you think that way about him, then?” “I have my reasons.”

    Excerpt

    “It’s this bloody play centre.” Dylan takes a large swig of beer. “I’m fully aware it’s her business and if it goes ‘tits up’ as she keeps telling me, she’d lose all her savings, but she’s never at home. It’s ridiculous. I work full-time and I’m having to come home and cook. She comes in late, eats, and is so tired she then goes to bed and is out like a light, until our alarm goes off and she repeats it all again. We barely speak, barely see each other. Since the engagement party she’s made no inroads into sorting out our wedding. I’m thinking we should forget the whole thing. She’s obviously not interested.”
    “Have you tried to tell her?”
    We look at each other and burst into laughter.
    “As if we tell women anything. We like our bollocks right?” I state. Then I tilt my head at him, “Seriously though. It is time for the talk.”
    “Oh God, no. Anything but the talk.”
    The talk. The thing that makes a man quake in his boots. When he needs to say something important to a woman and he needs to be listened to. The one that goes something like this.
    Man: Darling (always start with an endearment to sweeten them up).
    Woman: Yes?
    Man: It’s just a small thing but could you possibly fold my socks up rather than leave them in a pile as sometimes one falls behind the sofa and I end up with lots of odd socks.
    Woman: Fine.
    Man: Fuck, that was easier than I thought. (Goes to sit down.) Thirty minutes later: Hit by balls of socks to the head with a ‘will that do fuckhead?’
    “Rather you than me mate.”

    This Isn’t Fair, Baby

    War & Peace Series #6 by K. Webster Publication Date: April 18, 2017 Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Dark Romance

    ***This is the sixth book in the series. First five books must be read in order to fully understand this story line.*** The king in my world fell and a new one slid into place. He wasn’t just. He wasn’t FAIR. He was cruel and hateful and twisted. But I had this black king figured out. Or so I thought. The game became complicated because my black king had some new moves and one of those involved my heart. Hope trickled in for the briefest of moments. That is, until my black king and my heart sided against me. Those two didn’t play FAIR. They used me as their pawn in a bigger game—a game I didn’t know how to play. The laws changed. I didn’t play by their rules anymore, for the queen makes up her own. I am not a pawn. I am not theirs to use and abuse. I belong to nobody. There are new players on the board and they don’t play FAIR either. But the white king does know how to treat his queen. And together, they will make them pay. All’s FAIR in love and war, right? Definitely not this time. ***Warning*** This Isn’t Fair, Baby is a dark romance. Extreme sexual themes and violence, which could trigger emotional distress, are found in this story. If you are sensitive to dark themes, then this story is not for you.

    EXCERPT
    I watched the streetlights cast shadows on the angle of his
    cheekbone, the furrow of his brow. Strange how his manly beauty
    had grown on me, redefining or rather stretching my usual boundaries.
    Perhaps some people’s allure came from the inside out. A good thing. Their ways and their words did the wooing instead of their physical appeal. Not to diss Joe’s impressive physique. As
    nice as a pretty face was, though, the personality, the person beneath
    the skin, should matter more. Anything else was pretty
    shallow and unlikely to last. Guess that was the difference between
    my scratching an itch with a stranger and the way this
    man had me tied up in knots. And not even neat, sea-worthy
    knots. I’m talking, haven’t washed or brushed your hair in forever
    and there’s a big old mess back there.
    Shit.
    At the bar, he’d flirted with me. Full-on flirted with me, his
    supposed platonic friend who was not his type. No way did I
    know what to do. Normally Valerie would be first on my hit list of
    people to call. But she’d just tell me to jump him, regardless of
    what else was going on, or any possible consequences. Plus, with
    him beside me it would be kind of uncool. But a couple of whisky
    sours or no, I was pretty certain I hadn’t imagined his interest.
    As Mom had always said, however, best to be sure.
    “What are the renovating plans for tomorrow?” I asked.
    “Rip out the old fittings and prepare the space for new.”

    I nodded. “So we’ll be doing some pounding and screwing?”
    “Ah, yeah.” The man cast me a look out of the corner of his
    eye. “Sound okay?”
    “Absolutely. Can’t wait to get my hands back on that big hard
    hammer.”
    “Great,” he said, throwing me another questioning look.
    I gave a nice bland smile.
    Yeah, pal. Two could play at the what-the-fuck-is-going-on
    flirting game. I turned in my seat, all the better to face him. “Did
    you want to bang, Joe?”
    “What did you say?” Wide eyes flashed my way.
    “Like I did on that wall today. That was fun,” I said with all
    due sincerity. “Will we be doing more of that?”
    A pause. “Sure.”
    “Awesome.”
    Another quizzical look.
    “Something wrong?” I inquired politely.
    “No.” His Adam’s apple dipped as he swallowed hard, shifting
    in his seat, gaze decidedly unsure. The poor fool couldn’t begin to
    understand the crazy he’d unleashed with his little taunt. Get
    rough with the man? My starved libido was well beyond the
    rough-and-tumble stage. No more hiding or denying, sticking
    to the sidelines of life. It was my time to step forward and be
    brave. When it came to Joe Collins, I was more than ready to
    say yes.
    “I just . . .” he started. “Never mind.”
    Neither of us spoke as he pulled into a parking space a short
    walk down from the hotel. I leaned over, placing my hand on his
    denim-covered thigh. The muscle tensed beneath my fingers.
    Shame on me for straying a little close to his loins.
    “Thanks so much for tonight, Joe. I’m so glad we decided to be
    friends. Because you, sir, make a great friend.”
    “Right. Good.” A frown. “How much did you have to drink
    again?”
    “Not nearly enough. Quick, let’s get to my hotel room so I can
    have more!” I threw open my door.
    “Okay.” Hands stuffed in his pockets, he followed me inside,
    lingering a step or two behind. Guess he didn’t like it when
    people’s moods got all mixed up and mercurial either. Funny, that.
    I nodded to the dude at the front desk and pressed the button
    on the elevator. It opened immediately. Mirrors and old-timeylooking
    wooden framing decorated the small space. We both
    leaned against the back wall as it slowly ascended.
    “Yeah, sure can’t wait to do some banging, and pounding, and
    screwing around with you, Joe.” I smiled. “Sound good?”
    He just gave me a dry look from his superior height. All confusion
    gone from his handsome face. Confined spaces only made
    him seem bigger, even more imposing than usual. No way, no day,
    however, was I crawling back into my shell or turning into a
    shadow. We’d agreed to work on our issues, so fine, I was putting
    it out there.
    Still, my bravado was fading, I could barely meet his eyes. The
    man affected me in all the ways.
    “It’s hard, no pun intended this time, because sometimes it
    feels like you want to be just friends,” I said. “But then other times
    you flirt with me and I honestly don’t know what’s going on. No
    huge surprise there, I know. Social awkwardness is my jam. But I
    thought I mostly understood where you were coming from.”
    A ding from the elevator and the doors opened at our stop. I
    walked out, his bearded hotness following slowly behind, stalking
    me almost. For certain his usual cool, easy-going-guy persona was
    missing in action. The man radiated tension, intensity, even.
    And if he didn’t, I definitely did.
    Inside the hotel room I went for mood lighting, only turning
    on the table and bedside lamps. I rubbed sweaty hands against the
    sides of my pants. “What you said back at the bar about me getting
    rough with you, however. Now, that almost sounded like a dare.”
    “Did it?”
    “It did.”
    Arms hanging loose at his sides, he just watched me, saying
    nothing. Jerk.
    “So tell me.” I stood at the foot of the bed, facing him. Every
    part of me was wired, wide awake. “What’s going on, Joe?”
    His shoulders rose and fell on a deep breath. “I realized something
    tonight.”
    “What?”
    “That I was falling into old habits. Doing what was easy instead
    of doing what I wanted.”
    “Huh?”
    “It was just before you spilled ice on that guy’s pants.”
    “Sure. I can see how you’d be seduced by my smooth moves,”
    I said, voice filled with much doubt. My insides were ready to
    spontaneously combust. I swear I could feel sweat breaking out all
    over me, the man was just that hot. Also, my nerves were on high
    alert.
    One corner of his lips tipped up. “You know how you said you
    weren’t jealous?”
    “Yes?”
    “Well, I was.”
    Wow. I had nothing.
    “This is the part where you’re supposed to admit you were
    jealous too,” he supplied.
    “I didn’t think it needed to be said. I’m not that good a liar.”
    “True,” he said. “Anyway, I made the pass at you and then I
    was leaving it up to you to figure out what you want. To be brave
    and make the next move.”
    Softly, I laughed and shook my head. Men were such idiots.
    “Make the first move? This isn’t a game. As I said last time the subject
    of sex came up, previous hurt feelings, etc. It’s going to get
    complicated.”
    “Yeah, probably,” he said, voice deeper than I’d ever heard it.

    Excerpt
    I slumped into my broken and grubby sofa, wincing at the soreness of my bare feet. I didn’t have the energy to clean them. Instead, I poured myself a glass of cheap wine and gulped it down. My hand shook so much it was hard to hold the glass to my lips. The wine burned its way down my throat, mixing with the bile that was churning in my stomach. I pulled my dirty feet up onto the sofa and curled up. Finally, the tears fell.

    I hugged myself, trying to get some warmth into my bones. The trailer I lived in was freezing with just a small gas heater that gave off enough of a smell for me not to want to use it. I pulled a quilt around my shoulders and then cried harder. 

    My grandmother had made that quilt; it was the only item I had that reminded me of her.

    I missed her bitterly. I had since she’d died but more so then. She would have hugged me; she would have known what to do. I would never have found myself in the situation I was had she been around. I cried out her name, praying she could hear and guide me. Not that I thought I could sleep, but I closed my eyes, hoping that dawn would arrive quickly and I’d have a clearer mind.

    A sweep of car headlights across the room disturbed me. I sat up, pulling the quilt tight around me and held my breath. The lights came to a stop outside my trailer. I quietly slipped from the sofa, and in a crouch, I crept to the window. I sat on the floor, my back to the door, knowing if someone looked in, they wouldn’t see me.

    My blood froze in my veins when I heard my name being called, more so, when I recognized the voice. If he wanted to get in, one kick would have the front door fly off its brackets. I covered my mouth to stifle the sob when the door rattled.

    “I know where you’ve been, whore,” he slurred, before laughing. “You won’t be going back there.”

    “Please, go away,” I whispered, hoping for divine intervention. That came in the form of a dog.

    Barking echoed around outside, becoming more frantic. I heard his heavy footsteps clomp down the wooden steps, away from the door, and then the headlights swept across the room again. I sat, straining my ears to listen for the engine of his car and breathed a sigh of relief when that sound became faint.

    I knew at that point I couldn’t stay there. I had to leave. I scrambled to my feet and rushed into my bedroom. I gathered what few belongings I had, and crammed them into a battered backpack. The last thing I picked up was the quilt. 

    I pulled on some socks and my sneakers, still aware of how dirty my feet were, and headed for the kitchenette. Hidden in a cupboard, in a small tin, were my meager earnings, well, the portion of earnings I was allowed to keep. In addition, there was my ‘gift’ of a hundred dollars. At the thought of that ‘gift’ and the person who gave it, tears welled in my eyes again. I would call the police, but I would have to do it anonymously. There was no way I could go forward and publicly report what I’d seen.

    I was scared, I was trailer park trash, and I was a prostitute.

    Coming Soon From Ker Dukey

    Evi Devil.
    Yes, that’s really my name.
    The irony is not lost on me.
    I was created from two evil souls and have the name to prove it.
    Devil worshipers, perverts, murderer. Is all terms used to describe the parents I refuse to remember. My mind won’t allow me to.
    And why would I want to?
    One born of dirty blood running through her veins can never truly be clean from its murky hue.
    No matter what they try to tell me happened in my past, my mind denies me access, therefore how can I know it’s true?
    How can I believe that’s what I’m born from?
    Glimpses of my past haunt me, the screams of terror echo in the silent darkness of my memories, trying to remind me that my Mother went from room to room butchering our family.
    I’ve learned from scars that I suffered abuse and that my Father and siblings weren’t my Mother’s only victims.
    Hearing what they tell me.
    Reading the words printed in the papers. None of it can prepare me for what’s to come.
    My biggest lesson is learning that some memories we suppress for a reason.

    DEVIL.
    A DARK SUSPENSE NOVEL

    Release date: to be determined 



    Meet Ker Dukey 
    I have always had a passion for storytelling, whether it be through lyrics or bedtime stories with my sisters. I wanted to be an actress growing up so I could live many roles but I learned early on that my mind was too active… I would want to change the script.I would watch films and think of ways they could have improved the story if they took another direction so I thought it best that I tell my own.
    My mum would always have a book in her hand when I was young and passed on her love for reading, inspiring me to venture into writing my own. I tend to have a darker edge to my writing. Not all love stories are made of light, some are created in darkness but are just as powerful and worth telling.
    When I’m not lost in the world of characters I love spending time with my family. I’m a mum and that comes first in my life but when I do get down time I love attending music concerts or reading events with my younger sister.
    You can find me on Facebook where I love interacting with my readers.

    Genre: Romantic Suspense
    Release Date:  March 29, 2017 Cover Model: Michael Joseph Photographer: R+M Photography
    A new career, a new place, and a new man—you’d think after the rough year she’s had, Isla has finally found her stride. Of course it’s never that simple. Some dreams she is building, some dreams are taken away before they have a chance to form. But she never imagined that the one thing she’s worked so hard to realize, could be the cause it all breaks apart.
    Ben doesn’t miss his assignments, his life of deceit, or his unsavory associations—but they appear to miss him. Just as he’s beginning to think perhaps there’s redemption for him after all, his dark past casts a long shadow.—and not just on him, but on the woman who made him believe.
    “Loved it. Lots of suspense and a strong Heroine, just like I love to read. Can't wait for more of this series.” - Reader Review
    “I loved the new story line. It is amazing. You will be blown away.” - Reader Review
    “I love the re-entry of character's past, and the addition of new characters. this is a MUST-READ in my book!” - Reader Review
    Freya Barker inspires with her stories about 'real’ people, perhaps less than perfect, each struggling to find their own slice of happy. She is the author of the Cedar Tree Series and the Portland, ME, novels.
    Freya is the recipient of the RomCon “Reader’s Choice” Award for best first book, “Slim To None,” and is a finalist for the 2016 Kindle Book Awards for “From Dust”. She currently has two complete series and three anthologies published, and is working on two new series; La Plata County FBI—ROCK POINT, and Northern Lights. She continues to spin story after story with an endless supply of bruised and dented characters, vying for attention!
    KT Dove grew up, and still lives, in the Midwest. At an early age she developed a love of reading, driving the local librarians crazy, and would plan plot lines and stories for her favorite characters. KT received degrees in English, Speech/Drama, and Education. And yet instead of becoming an English teacher as planned, she opted for an unexpected HEA. 

    Now married, a mother and still an avid reader, she stumbled upon the Indie author movement and became involved on several levels. Never in her wildest imagination would she have thought she would co-author a book. With the support of her family, she took the plunge, adding writing to an already busy literary existence.  
    She wouldn’t have it any other way.

    Title: Dirty Princes: A Standalone MMF Romantic Comedy
    Author: Jo Raven 
    Genre: Menage Romance 
     Cover Designer: RBA Designs | Romantic Book Affairs









    Once upon a time, there lived a princess called Brylee who had a cat and a steady job and her eye on a handsome prince.
    But Prince Ryan refused to put out. So she baked cookies and buttered muffins, without any double meaning whatsoever, and saved her cherry for her prince.
    Who was being difficult and not following the damn script.
    Then Riddick walked through the door and ate her cookie.
    Literally, okay? It was a good cookie, too, with chocolate chip.
    Riddick is drop-dead gorgeous, but not a prince. Regardless, Brylee can’t fight that burning attraction.
    Even when Ryan does a turn-about and starts showing interest in her, after all this time.
    This isn’t how things were supposed to happen. She was supposed to get a prince, not get caught between a hot prince and a hunky pauper.
    Come on.
    Especially not when said prince and pauper can’t stand each other.
    Brylee isn’t above letting two men fight for her. That’s the essence of a good fairytale, right? A fight, a winner, a grand wedding and a happily ever after.
    It’s fine. After all, she doesn’t want them both.
    At the same time. In her bed. Like, ever.

    Reconnaissance.
    With a wink at Simone, I get up from my rowing machine and grab my towel, then make my way toward him.
    This is a huge gym, new, the machines gleaming, the people dressed in trendy exercise clothes, their MP3 players flashing as they move. Strong, lithe bodies, with barely any hint of sweat.
    Self-consciously I adjust my top. It’s like everyone passed an exam to enter. It makes me wonder how Simone and I made the cut.
    Not that I don’t take care of my body. I sure do, and I even drag my best friend Candy along when she’s not too busy having wild sex with her two boyfriends.
    Two. Boyfriends. Did you catch that?
    Total overkill if you ask me. And still no idea how she did it. I’ve been trying to get one guy—Ryan—for the past year, one—and still no dice.
    It doesn’t matter. It will be worth it in the end. Not everyone gets their soulmate on the first try.
    Or the hundredth, for that matter. Hundred-and-twenty-fifth to be precise. Hey, it’s a good number. These things take work.
    And I do work it as I approach Ryan, as Simone advised me to do after watching Pretty Woman, swinging my hips and lifting my chin, letting my ponytail swish against my back.
    He’s getting ready to start, draping his manly black towel on the seat of a rowing machine and… whoa.
    Red alert. His T-shirt molds to an impressively sculpted chest and set of shoulders, his corded arms in full display, a picture straight out of Men’s Health magazine.
    Holy guacamole.
    Woo.
    But of course I shouldn’t be shocked. I chose him. He’s everything a man should be. He just has to see I am the girl for him.
    That’s why he’s single. He’s been waiting for me all along.
