The Girl He Wants — Kristi Rose

It's tempting to ignore your heart . . .

Boutique owner Jayne Grandberry may be great at getting customers to treat themselves, but she's even better at resisting her own desires. For her, love is like a sinfully rich dessert -- a fleeting pleasure that will just make her crash in the long run. She has no time for such distractions, especially since she's trying to open up a second shop in Atlanta. But she finds herself tempted like never before when her friends set her up with Stacy Cunningham.

A financial wizard, Stacy gives off a definite nerdy vibe, but he has skills that a businesswoman like Jayne can appreciate -- and an indulgent one-night stand shows her a wildly different side of him. There's nowhere for them to go from there, since Stacy, a single father, has complicated written all over him. But he's not willing to settle for second best. And he'll have to wait for Jayne to discover what he's known all along: that when you open your heart to love, there will be room in your life for anything . . .
