“Yes!” she said, rearing up and over him, her hair falling all around their faces.

Her mouth covered his in a searing kiss, and he wrapped his arms around her, getting lost in the taste of her for a moment.

When he finally broke the kiss, he slipped the ring onto her left finger between them. Once the band was in place, he rolled until she was on her back, staring up at him.

“I have a confession to make,” he said.

“Okay?”

“When I told you I wouldn’t wait forever for you . . . ”

“Yeah?”

“I lied.” Everett waited until that smile softened her lips before he continued, “I would have waited, no matter how long it took.”

Callie’s hand cupped his cheek, her eyes sparkling with tears. “I’ll never make you wait again.”

An Excerpt from

RULES TO BE BROKEN

Mike Stevens has been the good guy all his life—and though he’s never had a problem getting women, he’s ready for something more. So when he hatches a plan to change his image from nice to naughty, that last person he expects help from is his nemesis, Zoe Carver. Zoe doesn’t like or trust Mike but as his transformation takes shape, she starts to doubt her first impression. There are some great guys out there, but if she’s grooming this one for someone else, is she making the biggest mistake of her life?

ZOE WAS AT Mike’s door forty-five minutes early, with several shopping bags and an eager smile on her face. She knew he would probably hate the leather chaps and at least one of the shirts, but she’d wanted a variety so he would have some choices.

Though really, there was no wrong choice.

She knocked hard and heard something crash inside. Mike answered the door a few seconds later, rubbing his hair with a towel. His scowling face was covered in shaving cream, but her attention was immediately drawn down to his bare, sculpted chest—and the fact that lower, he was wearing only boxer shorts. None of those stuffy collared shirts he wore at work had prepared her for those pecks or the ridges of his abs.

Holy hell, those are some nice abs.
