Quarterback Clay "Mr. Perfect" Braden is determined to show sexy scientist Pepper Montgomery the benefits of hands-on research in PLAYING MR. PERFECT, the first book in the Bradens at Ridgeport series by New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Melissa Foster. Loaded with heat, humor, and heart, this steamy, small-town, opposites-attract standalone romance is unputdownable. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and a happily ever after that will leave you breathless. _What happens in Paris, stays in Paris, right? Oh, Pepper. If only..._ Okay, I admit it. Sleeping with the NFL quarterback who the media has dubbed Mr. Perfect might not have been the smartest move, but I’m in the City of Love, I’d had a few drinks, and was jacked up on giddy girl talk and hopeful hearts—two things I never buy into—and I threw caution to the wind. I want to sneak out before he wakes up, but when I open my eyes, he’s already up. In more ways than one. Convincing the ridiculously cocky (pun intended) man that I’m not the woman he slept with last night is awkward. Actually, he makes it impossible. The thing is, I don’t even know who that woman was. And now he’s determined to find out. \\ THE BRADENS AT RIDGEPORT Playing Mr. Perfect Sincerely, Mr. Braden More Bradens coming soon!
