After noting his slick womanizing ways, she vowed not to become another notch on this arrogant charmer’s bedpost. Quinn has resisted Lance for well over a year. Constant bickering—driving each other, family, and mutual friends plumb crazy— failed to quash the sexual tension crackling between them. Lance, a master of biding his time, always gets what he wants. And he’s decided they’ve wasted too much time on nonsense. He will have Quinn, thank you very much. Now. Because she doesn’t trust him or his motives, he’ll need to get more creative. Hoping to use her hypercompetitive nature to his advantage, Lance issues an intriguing proposal: Lance and Quinn will “chaste date” for thirty days, just playing nice for once and getting to know one another better. All those pesky fleshly distractions can only lead to trouble, anyway. Just holding hands allowed. Oh, and wait, maybe they can slip in a loophole for a hug and a closed-mouth-above-the-neck kiss or two…or three….or… The first to break the rules will incur penalties. Temptation abounds. Somebody will fail, but it’s a challenge neither can resist. NOTE: He Could Be the One contains strong language, sexy times, and an alpha female. less
