Ever since her former roommates deserted her, Meg has had to share an apartment with a lazy, obnoxious ass. He won’t pick up after himself, and he refuses to get a good job. Plus, he doesn’t always wear enough clothes—which is really a problem, because he’s hot.
Maybe he’s occasionally funny. And every now and then he can be sweet. But mostly he’s just annoying. It doesn’t matter how much he’s starting to flirt with her—Meg is going to resist. She’s way too smart to fall for a guy who never takes anything seriously.
But then everything changes in only one night...
Excerpt:
“I
want to stay here.”
“Okay.”
Meg tried very hard—and not very successfully—not to feel pleased
by this decision. “Well, at least go to bed. You don’t
look…good.”
He
gave a huff of amusement. “Thanks a lot.”
“I
just mean you look tired.” She reached up and pressed her palm
against his rough jaw. “You look tired.”
“I
am tired.” He leaned his face into her hand.
“Do
you have a headache?” she asked, trying to make sense of the pained
tension she saw on his face.
“Yeah.”
“So
go to bed.” She felt deep and tender and protective, as if he were
hers to take care of.
“I
want you to come to bed with me.” His voice was slightly hoarse,
and his eyes suddenly blazed with something that looked like need,
like hunger, something far deeper than lust.
It
thrilled her and terrified her both. She dropped her hand. “East, I
can’t—“
He
reached up and took her face in both of his hands. “I want you
tonight.”
God
help her, she wanted him too. So much. So deeply. So desperately. The
emotions ran through her so powerfully she swayed on her feet.
But
she’d been smart for too many years, and she couldn’t throw it
all away now. She took a step back with a hitch in her breath. “I
can’t.”
East’s
shoulders slumped slightly. “Yeah,” he murmured, turning away and
opening the refrigerator to pull out a beer. “That’s probably
right.”
Noelle handwrote her first romance novel in a spiral-bound notebook when she was twelve, and she hasn’t stopped writing since. She has lived in eight different states and currently resides in Virginia, where she teaches English, reads any book she can get her hands on, and offers tribute to a very spoiled cocker spaniel.
She
loves travel, art, history, and ice cream. After spending far too
many years of her life in graduate school, she has decided to
reorient her priorities and focus on writing contemporary
romances.
