Real Love — Celya Bowers

Josie Manning said no to a millionaire. Actually she said hell no! Breaking off her very public engagement to Thorndyke Patterson was the smartest thing she ever did. It was also the dumbest thing she ever did. Thorndyke destroys her interior design business by running off all her clients. Christmas never looked gloomier. What is a girl to do? She gets the hell out of town to get her bearings. Josie decides to visit her best friend, Rain Callahan, for the upcoming holiday season.

After arriving in Virginia, Josie realizes she's been set up. Rain has chosen her brother-in-law Brad to show Josie around town. Josie isn't happy with that little development, but Rain was her girl, so she had to go through with it. Brad was eye-candy, thanks to the genes from his African American mother and Irish father. Handsome couldn't begin to describe him. Arrogant, yes, sexy, definitely, his blue-green eyes melted Josie's ice cold heart in seconds.
She was so done.

Brad Callahan didn't believe in commitment. He believe in recreational sex. But one look at Josie had him rethinking his revolving bed policy. But Brad isn't looking for anything but a good time and he knew Josie would probably want more from him than he's ready to give. Or was he?

As the holiday near, Brad knows Josie has to return to Dallas, but he's not ready to let her go. Would Josie be the woman who makes him take the plunge. Brad knew one thing......if he was going down he was taking Josie with him.
