What if the woman he needs is the one he thought was out
of his league?
Adam Pallas knows what he wants out of life—to teach
history, to be happy and to have a hot woman by his side. He’s got one out of
the three. He should be happy, but he’s not. There’s one woman who grabs his
attention every time. The catch? She’s very much out of his league. Can being
himself actually snag him the woman of his dreams?
Melissa Murphy isn’t looking for love, but every time she
sees Adam her plans go sideways. The English teacher knows there’s a confident,
hot man hiding behind the slightly nerdy history buff façade. But her past and
the things she wants between the sheets tend to scare men off. She believes the
odds may be stacked against them. Could it be their lives are perfectly written
together after all?
Reader Advisory: This book contains scenes of anal sex,
attempted blackmail and a brief scene of sexual assault.

“Some people
are great on paper but crap in real life. That’s what Kevin and I were…are.”
She stared toward the ground. “Getting engaged to him was my biggest mistake.
He’s a parent and I’m a teacher. Not a good mix. I thought we’d be able to
overlook it. He couldn’t. I ended up giving ninety percent and he called his
ten in. Sad.”
Adam wanted
to pry. He wanted to know everything about the relationship and the break-up so
that in case he and Melissa actually tried dating, he’d know what not to do.
Instead of speaking, he stayed quiet and listened to the sound of their breathing.
“Look, the
guy embarrassed the hell out of me and then acted like he was the jilted party,
yet I took him back. No more. I don’t mind joshing among friends, but public
embarrassment is not cool.” She finally looked up at him. Her eyes shimmered
and the blush across her cheeks swept down her neck. “Gee, this is awkward. All
this was supposed to make you feel better. I wasn’t supposed to ramble on.”
Adam reached
out, hesitant to touch her. She was his friend and sounded like she needed
consoling. What the hell. He snagged her in a hug and stroked her
hair. “You helped more than you realize.” He stifled a chuckle. “Chasing Tessa
was a pipe dream and I’ve been turning the situation over in my mind. I knew
she wasn’t interested, but the game was too much fun to stop. She was my
mystery girl—kind of.” He loved the way she felt in his embrace, so small and
curvy. The more he talked about Tessa, the more he realized he wanted Melissa.
“But now I’m confident it’s time to move on. I’m meant for something else besides
chasing.”
Melissa
rested her head on his shoulder and didn’t pull away from him. “Mystery isn’t
always what it’s cracked up to be, but then again, neither is reality.”
This time he
did chuckle. “I got a life lesson out of the experience.” Besides, holding
Melissa cemented to him the fact that there was way more to life than chasing a
mystery.
“What was the
lesson? Don’t push people?” She tipped her head and stared up at him.
“Know your
limits.” Adam rubbed her back. God knew the longer she lingered in his arms,
the more likely he was to embarrass himself, but he didn’t care. He liked the
way she cradled against him. “I’m guessing you could use that lesson, too? If
Kevin isn’t working out, then don’t be afraid to cut him loose for good. You’ll
feel better.” So would he. Melissa deserved better than Kevin, the pompous
jerk.
“You’re
right.” She still didn’t pull away. “We should really go back in.”
“Probably.”
He wanted to kiss her. Was that pushing things too far?
“We should do
this after school,” Melissa murmured.
He
paused. Do what? Kiss? Hell, yeah, he wanted to kiss her. But he
wasn’t sure if she was truly done with her boyfriend. She stared at him and he
fought the urge to squirm. She wanted an answer. Adam nodded. “I’m game.” For
running and so much more. The electricity between him and Melissa couldn’t be a
fluke.
“I’ll hold
you to that.” She wriggled from his grasp. A new sparkle lit in her eyes and
she smiled again. Melissa poked him hard in the chest. “Catch me if you can.”
She spun on her heel and sprinted away from him.
“You bet.” He
started after her, his spirit renewed. “You certainly bet.”
