Sugar and Spice

2021

All she wants is a weekend rendezvous… I love the small town I’m from. I love having so much extended family close by and I love my mail order chocolate company. But what what I don’t love is being everyone’s favorite aunt. It’s like being cock-blocked by the entire town. So when I win first prize in a contest that takes me to New York City for the weekend, I know just what I’m going to do—hook up with the first hot guy I meet who doesn’t aunt-zone me. I think I've got it all figured out, until I meet an enormous, growly professional football player, trying to seduce me and realize I'm loving every minute of it. All he wants is the chance to prove one weekend will never be enough... The world thinks I’m a player on account of my job and that’s okay because people are going to think whatever the hell they want to think. Truth is, I’m not, nor have I ever been a player—that’s not how my parents raised me. They have the forever kind of love and I want that too. I’m not a one-night-stand kind of guy but this feisty curvy beauty has already stolen my heart and makes me want to break all of my rules.
