Love is in the air. But that doesn’t mean happily ever after will come easily… Dale I never thought I’d fall in love. I was the quintessential player with a lineup of one-night stands. Never any real connections. Then I met her. One look at Karen and I felt like I’d taken a fastball to the heart. She was so sexy and real that I knew I was never going back to my old life. No more shallow hookups. She’s the one. Now all I have to do is figure out how to get her to stop saying no and finally go out with me. Karen I had love once—and lost it in a cruel twist of fate. These days, I don’t have the luxury of being frivolous with my time or my heart. I’m a single mom. That’s my priority. Romance is an unnecessary hassle, anyway. Then I met him. Dale Montgomery is hotter than Carolina asphalt in July. And he wants me. Crazy, right? Too bad I gave up on crazy romantic notions long ago. She already struck out at love once. Can he convince her to take another turn at bat?
