Fasten your seatbelt…
Marketing Program Manager,
Vanessa Rodriquez, is driven to succeed and keeps the finish line in sight at
all times…until one unexpected pit stop at her best friend’s wedding sends her
skidding off course. Sleeping with Alex McIntyre wasn't supposed to make her
feel this way—scattered, unfocused, and in need of another sexual tune-up. If
only he didn’t make her feel so alive.
Yield to oncoming desire…
Race against love…
If Van can just course correct,
it’ll be smooth sailing toward her goals. Or will it? Alex is smart, sexy, and
way too much of a distraction, but maybe she needs to shake up her world and do
the one thing she swore she’d never do…follow her heart. Will she risk it all
to cross the finish line? Or will she and Alex crash and burn before they have
a chance at love?

Before
slipping out the door, she took off the gorgeous Louboutins. The last thing she
needed was to twist an ankle before the ceremony. That would ruin Becca’s day.
It didn’t
take her long to find the source of the commotion. Down the exterior corridor
lined with stone archways, a small crowd gathered.
The
bridesmaids, Becca’s friends from high school and college, a couple of EMTs, a
few guests, and him. Alex.
A lone
butterfly fluttered low in her belly and she silently cursed. She didn’t even
like him, and she certainly didn’t want him. Hell, he wasn’t her type. Van
liked her men driven and determined. Alex was a Boy Scout. The kind of guy to
bake cookies and take them to his elderly neighbor. Sweet, but no hint of
swagger anywhere. Not to mention, he seemed perfectly happy to work for the
family business and didn’t seem to be driven to do anything else.
So why do all the women want him?
The question
of the ages. Everywhere Van turned, women threw themselves at Alex. She just didn’t
get it.
It made no
sense to her why Alex attracted women like the proverbial moths to a flame, or
why there would be any damn butterflies in her stomach when she saw him. He
went out of his way to annoy her. Planning the wedding with him had been like
the slow drip of water torture.
For every
roadblock or negotiation, he’d ridden in on his white steed and solved it. Even
when he shouldn’t. Like the negotiations with the florist. The chick had been
trying to rip Becca off. Van had given him terms and they’d almost worked it
out. Then Alex had rolled in and paid the guy, saying it wasn’t worth the
stress. Which was what Liam had wanted to do.
But Liam had
come from money and Becca had been serious about paying for half the wedding
herself. To make matters worse, the female florist had gone gaga over Alex and
provided extra flowers, slipping him her phone number with them.
When Van
went off, Alex hadn’t understood what the problem was. It went on like that for
months. It was a wonder she hadn’t killed him.
Van tried to
stay out of sight behind a pillar, but at the same time catch Alex’s eye. Of
course, he was in save-the-world mode, so he didn’t see her. Instead, he spoke
to the EMT. “Her breathing is stable, pulse a little thready. She was taking a
picture in the garden courtyard, then passed out. I think it’s probably heat
stroke and dehydration.”
The medics
put an elderly woman—not Liam’s mother, thank God—on a stretcher and carted her
off. True to form, Alex had adoring fans cheering him on. “Oh my God, I can’t
believe it, you saved her life,” one trilled.
Another one
said, “A real life hero.”
One of the
bridesmaids wasted no time. “I think I’m feeling faint myself. Maybe after the
wedding you can escort me to go lie down.”
Van scoffed.
Idiots. She cleared her throat,
caught Alex’s attention. The moment their gazes locked, heat flooded her body
and she felt suddenly flushed.
Stop it. Alex McIntyre was not on the menu. “If you’re done saving the women of Princeton, New
Jersey, do you think we can get the show on the road? I’ve got a nervous
bride.”
For a long
moment, he didn’t speak, just stared at her. When his gaze dipped to her chest,
she resisted the urge to cover up. She had boobs, he could deal with it.
Finally, he
blinked. “W-what was that?”
Van snapped
her fingers. “My eyes, they’re up here. If you’re done with the fan club, do
you think Becca and Liam can get married now?”
He met her
eyes and gave her a smug grin. “I’ll get everyone seated.”
“Thanks.”
Van locked her jaw and strode away, the heat of his gaze boring a hole in her
back as she went.
