Blurb
There is no rule in the Man Code as unbreakable as this: no matter how beautiful, smart, clever, and witty she is, do not—under any circumstances—fall in love with your best friend’s woman. Yeah. So there’s that. Look, it’s not like I didn’t know I screwed up by falling for her. Also, for the record, unrequited love sucks big time. And, I might have cut myself some slack by now, given everything that went down in the last few years, but Lulu just walked back into my life in a big way. ***
There are three things I've never been able to resist—my friends, my family, and chocolate. Leo Hennessy? He was nowhere on that list. He's been a true friend—a friend who walked through hell and back with me. Now, I'm stepping into my new future. I didn't expect it to include a riddle-filled, race-against-the-clock scavenger hunt across New York City. With Leo. Suddenly, I'm looking at this man with new eyes... But my life spun out because of a man once before, and I can’t risk my fresh start, no matter what the temptation. And Leo is most definitely a temptation of the sexiest, sweetest, and most dangerous variety. More irresistibly delicious than chocolate...

Excerpt
I take a
moment to add up the facts, only the facts.
Lulu is
here.
She’s
living in New York.
I’m living in New York.
I’m about
to add in one more fact, but I can’t in good conscience go there.
Besides,
my heart is pounding too fast.
It’s from
the incident, I tell myself.
It’s from
the adrenaline rush.
It’s not
from feelings.
I don’t
feel a thing.
I leave
the men’s room, take a drink from the water fountain, and wipe my hand across
my mouth.
When I
look up, she’s there.
With
outstretched arms, she spins in a circle, waiting for an appraisal of her new
outfit.
Her new,
jaw-dropping, sexy-as-sin,
might-as-well-throw-in-the-towel-and-raise-the-white-flag-of-surrender outfit.
What the
hell was I thinking?
I clearly
wasn’t using my brain at all. Because she’s even more alluring in this
garb.
She’s only wearing the chef jacket and heels.
“Are you…?” I gesture to the outfit, the end of my words
making my meaning clear? Are you naked
under that?
She rolls her eyes. “Please. I have on my alpaca panties.”
“Alpaca panties?”
Her eyes twinkle. “I couldn’t resist. There was a sale on
cute animal print undies with faces, you know, right here.” She gestures to her
pelvis. “A six pack of giraffes, zebras, dolphins, and llamas too.” She casts
her eyes down. “Wait. I have on the llama ones. I always get them confused.”
“Alpacas have shorter ears. Llama ears are banana length.”
She snaps her fingers. “Yes. Exactly. I’m wearing the
big-eared animal undies, so it’s totally fine.”
Great. Now I’m thinking of her in underwear. In fucking
llama underwear. Precisely the visual I’ve assembled way too many times without
help, thank you very much. Minus the llamas, of course.
She tugs at the hem of the jacket, revealing the bare flesh
of her thigh.
“Lulu.” It comes
out like a warning.
She laughs at me. “Relax. I’m tiny; this jacket is huge.
It’s like a short dress on me.”
“A very short
dress.”
“I can handle a short dress. I’ve worn shorter.”
“Shorter as in ass-cheek length, Lulu?”
Her eyebrows wiggle. Her eyes—green and not so
green—sparkle. “Yes. I’ve worn ass-cheek length, Leo. But I’m still decent. And
you’re still my hero.”
She leans closer, rises on tippy toes, and moves her lips
close, closer, closest. She dusts those lips across my cheek, and it’s like
she’s an arsonist.
In one swift move, I’m on fire.
