The Wellington Way. My mother's favorite motto wasn't something I bought into, even after watching each of my cousins fall hard and fast for their women. That all changed the night Alyssa Covington came into my life like a whirlwind, showing me exactly what I'd been missing. It took just one night for her to knock me on my ass, twist me inside out, and fall head over cock. The morning after? She left without a second glance in her rearview mirror. Fortunately for me, her sister's marrying my cousin, and there's no way she can escape me now. The only problem? She wants nothing to do with me. Little does Alyssa know, I never give up, even if I have to fight dirty. ** My sister told me there was nothing like loving a Wellington. I didn’t buy it. Until I found out that stranger I gave my virginity to? Shane Wellington. He’s the antithesis of my dream man, yet it took just one night for me to become addicted. Unfortunately for us, that perfect night led to a disastrous morning after and I did what I do best. I ran, fooling myself by thinking I could quickly get him out of my system. When circumstances throw us together again, I can't forget the time we spent together. His piercing blue eyes hold me hostage, and I know the truth. Shane and I aren't over. Oh no, we've just begun. The only problem? It doesn't matter what I want. I can have nothing to do with him. What happens when the perfect one-night stand just isn't enough?
