New York Times and USA Today bestselling author SAWYER BENNETT is a snarky southern woman and reformed trial lawyer who decided to finally start putting on paper all the stories that were floating in her head. Her husband works for a Fortune 100 company that lets him fly all over the world while she stays at home with their daughter and three big, furry dogs who hog the bed. Bennett would like to report that she doesn't have many weaknesses, but can be bribed with a nominal amount of milk chocolate.

Chapter 1

When you're twenty years old, there's nothing music and a drink can't cure.

At least that was my best friend's response when I told her I'd been cut from Central State's women's soccer team that morning.

The overzealous stylings of two drunk chicks bellowing "It's Raining Men" wafted through the air, and I'd just received my vodka club from the bartender, so why did it still feel like someone scratched my heart out with a serrated shovel?

Maybe "It's Raining Men" wasn't the right song?

Or mayb

e my friend's remedy lacked one vital piece. Like, five minutes locked in a bathroom stall with the crazy-haired hottie approaching me. His head was buzzed short on the sides, leaving a thick patch of dark locks, gelled into a neat pompadour in front. Sort of like 1920s gangster, except less slicked, more height.

Every muscle in Crazy Hair's body rippled under his clothing as he walked. He had to be over six feet tall, with a broad chest and massive arms stretching the seams of his long-sleeved black Henley. His skin was smooth and pale, a contrast to the thick dark eyebrows resting above his jump-in-and-drown-in-me blue eyes. From the scar on his left cheek to the smug smirk of his lips, he was exactly my type: dangerous, confident, and totally lickable.

I flipped my long blond hair behind my shoulder and glanced to my left, pretending Crazy Hair's advance had no effect on me. In reality, I'd checked to make sure that he wouldn't pass me up on the way to some beautiful bombshell I hadn't noticed standing in the vicinity.

Like when you see someone wave, so you wave back. Then you realize they weren't waving at you but at the person behind you. So you try to play off your lame wave like you were batting away mosquitoes, which aren't there because it's December in Canada. Just trying to avoid an awkward situation like that.

Crazy Hair continued to close in, before stopping just inches away.

I'd opened my mouth to ream him out for stepping too far into my personal space, but the sweet scent of clove cigarettes flooded warmth through me like a sip of hot chocolate on a January morning in the Upper Peninsula.

"You work at post office?" he asked in a thick Slavic accent.

"Um, no." I took a swig of my drink. Though I was unsure where he was going with that line, he was hot enough for me to stick around.

The left corner of his mouth curved into that sexy little smirk. "Because I see you check out my package."
