Book excerpt: Nicole is without a doubt the oddest creature I’ve ever met. As far as therapists go, she’s pretty damn good, even though her methods are way the hell out there. And while she’s been using my climbing gym for her afterschool sessions for years now, lately, I’ve been having a tough time getting her out of my head. But, there’s a reason I’ve stayed unwaveringly single while raising my kid for the last decade, and the last thing I need is to have my world turned upside down by this sexy little smarty with her bleeding heart and her uncanny ability to push all my buttons. So, when the maddeningly persuasive woman manages to somehow goad me into an admittedly entertaining challenge, obviously, I know I should just walk away... But I don’t. * * * * * Logan is without a doubt the most fascinating man I’ve ever met. As far as billionaires go, he’s hardly typical. He’s practically allergic to the indoors, stubborn to the extreme, and an absolute teddy bear—of the burly, overprotective variety—when it comes to his daughter. I’m well aware that he thinks I’m a bit of a weirdo. And frankly, I’m good with that status quo, especially given our history. The last thing I need is to develop an ill-advised crush on the gorgeous workaholic with his quietly intense charm and his strange ability to make the air seem thinner. So, when the unfairly distracting man manages to Jedi-mind-trick me into letting him set the stakes for our fun little challenge, obviously, I know I should just walk away... But I don’t. * * * * * The HARD, FAST, AND FOREVER Series - Book 1: Bare Ass in Love (Jason & Summer) - FREE for a limited time - Book 2: Hard Ass in Love (Logan & Nicole) - Book 3: Gruff Ass in Love (Cade & Katelyn) ***Previously titled Work Me Up – same fun story, just with a fresh title/cover makeover***
