Desperate Haste (The Nat. 20 #3)

Malcolm Kacee is Charleston’s biggest playboy. Known for his inked up skin and the fact that he would rather have a woman fall in love with him for only a weekend instead of forever, he’s perfectly content in his arrangement with the opposite gender. One and done, nothing more. That is, until the night of his best friend’s wedding when he finally gets the girl he’s been trying to bag for weeks—the bride’s best friend. After their hasty one night stand, he can’t seem to shake her from his mind. For the first time in his life, he’s ready to call her his for good, even if it means burning his entire playboy image to the ground.

Ophelia Sommers loves sex and isn’t afraid to own it. If men are allowed to take a different girl home each weekend and be seen as ‘the man’, then why can’t women? She loves who she is as a curvy, successful businesswoman and for reasons she rarely shares, refuses to let any man claim her as his own.

Yet, why can’t she stop thinking about the tattooed bartender that took her home after her best friend’s wedding? And why does she find his thick-framed glasses and the fact that he reads the newspaper every day so annoyingly hot? And why, even in his darkest season, does she want to do anything she can to pull him back into the light?

What starts out as a desperate haste to share just one night together becomes a love neither of them expected. Together they learn that you can always start over and find love no matter how hard you’ve fallen in the past.
