Book excerpt: "Flirting is fun. And fun is essential." Single mom Mardie is doing it tough so I gave her the loveliest guy I could possibly imagine. Take that, sour reality! Single mom Mardie Griffin has a run-down old house in need of fixing and a memory of Jett Casey as her savior in a time of great need. So when her friends acquire Jett’s services at a bachelor auction and send him to fix up her house, she sets aside her mistrust of men and lets him in. Elite athlete Jett Casey has the world at his feet and no desire for stability. But there’s one woman he’s never forgotten and if he can help make her safe this time, maybe she’ll stop haunting him. No strings, no sex, no commitment. Just fix things. Surely it can’t be that difficult… First published as What a Bachelor Needs
