I just want the challenge of convincing them to let me be a part of what they’ve got going on.It turns out the business side of things is the easy part.The hard part? Delia Badd.She may be the last woman on earth to know who I am, and she’s beautiful, bold, witty, sarcastic, fascinating…and allergic to love and commitment.I always get everything I want…AND I WILL GET HER TO FALL FOR ME.* * *A gorgeous, arrogant man breezes into my bar one day and captures my attention the moment I lay eyes on him, but I’m not looking for love.My best friend and adopted sister, Emerson, claims the infamous Badd Family Love Charm is coming for me next; the joke’s on her, though, because I will not let that happen.I have clinically awful taste in men, for one thing. And for another, I refuse to be the first person in my family to screw up love. I mean, look at our track record. Every adult in my family has met, fallen in love, and found happily ever after when the Love Charm strikes. You can’t screw something up if you refuse to let it happen in the first place, right?So yeah, no matter how hot this “Hawk” may be, no matter how rich he obviously is, no matter how scorching, mind-altering, and life-changing our physical chemistry may be, I’m dead-set on one I WILL NOT FALL IN LOVE WITH HIM. less
