Book excerpt: Revisit New York Times bestselling author Jill Shalvis’s steamy tale about breaking all the rules… Rule # 1—No blind dates. Having suffered through one too many, there’s no way Samantha O’Ryan will agree to a blind date. Until her best friend needs a favor, that is. Enter Jack Knight. If she’d known how hot he is, she never would have protested. Rule # 2—No kissing on the first date. Sam can’t resist Jack. And before the night is over, she wants to do a lot more than just kiss him. For someone like Sam, who runs from all commitment, that fact should be enough to make her refuse the second date. It’s not. Rule # 3—No falling in love. Sam is determined to keep this fling on sizzle with no strings attached. But Jack starts hinting about something more, and suddenly she’s being seduced in the most tempting way… Originally published in 2004
