“You really should
change that light bulb,” Matt said, glancing around us.
“I know.” I pushed
aside my wallet to dig to the bottom of my oversized purse. “I kind of take for
granted that this is supposed to be a safe neighborhood.”
“Until an alien
abducts you off your poorly lit porch.”
“Very funny.” I
glanced up from my purse with a smile. “But really, it’s late. You could have
been home by now.”
“Gen, I’m glad to
walk you to your door. I would have worried about you if I hadn’t.”
I considered him
as we stood there on my porch, the light flickering above us. I didn’t want him
to leave, but I didn’t know how to ask him to stay. Maybe I could ask him in for
a drink, though I’d already had enough.
But I have those cupcakes…
But I have those cupcakes…
Yeah. I could
offer him cupcakes. They weren’t his favorite, chocolate with sprinkles, but yellow cake with
milk chocolate frosting had to be a close second, right? Hadn’t he said a cupcake will
fix everything?
“I’m really glad
we went out tonight.”
His voice made me
jump and I dropped the keys. We both bent to pick them up at the same time and
bumped foreheads.
“Sorry,” he said.
“It’s okay, I’m
fine.” I clasped my forehead and laughed. Probably, I sounded hysterical. Like
a rabid hyena. I couldn’t even look him in the eye when I took the keys from him.
“Thanks for inviting me. I had a lot of fun tonight.”
“Me too,” he said.
I put the key into
the lock, turning it slowly as I struggled with what to do about him and my out
of control libido. Unlocking my door hadn’t given me enough time to figure
things out, though, so I tried to prolong sliding the patio door open. That
didn’t take long either, and I hesitated in the doorway, still unsure. I opened
my mouth to ask him in, but nothing came out. So I stepped backward through the
doorway, my gaze glued to his. After a moment, he followed me inside, part of
his face lost in shadows.
Time stood still. My tongue darted out to lick my lips, and I lifted up onto my toes as he lowered his head to meet me halfway. The smell of his cologne surrounded me and my eyes drifted shut. He grasped me loosely around my back, pulling me close, sending shivers coursing through my body. His breath caressed my skin, his lips just a whisper away from mine, and my lips parted.

~~ Blurb ~~
Imogen Gorecki has a problem—her twin sister just got engaged, and guess who’s the best man? That’s right, her scum-of-an-ex-boyfriend whom she caught cheating with a bottle-blonde, with fake breasts and a stripper’s flexibility. There’s a disturbing possibility her eyes will never recover.
Gen needs a date for the engagement party, but finding Mr. Perfect in a time crunch is proving impossible. Just when she’s about to give up, she face-plants into the crotch of the sexiest guy she’s ever met.
Matt Sesnick is everything Gen wants in a man —except he’s not interested in a relationship. Can she convince Matt to take another shot at love, or will Gen’s pregnant, hormonal older sister, her bridezilla twin, and all of her past Mr. Wrongs get in the way of their happily-ever-after?
