Blurb: Marcus Preston wants a relationship built on love and trust, but the woman he wants made it clear long ago she's only interested in fun and games. Yet, moving on proves difficult when no one else can erase the memory of the night they shared last summer.

Charlotte Reese doesn't believe in love, marriage, or happily ever afters. An occasional one-night stand is all she needs to take the edge off her loneliness and enhance the bad-girl image she uses to discourage commitment-seeking men—especially Marcus, the only man to melt both her body and her heart melt.

When Charlotte wins Marcus hot off the block of Houston’s Most Eligible Bachelor Auction and they’re forced to spend the weekend together, she seizes the opportunity to seduce him and extinguish the attraction sizzling between them once and for all. But for Marcus, it’s all or nothing. He won’t be seduced. Instead, he’ll show Charlotte she has more to offer a man than sex.

Review: Oh yeah. Now THIS is what I am talking about!
 
Hot man...no SCORCHING HOT MAN! Sexy story, heroine with flaws but still a strong woman...the total package :)  A totally rocking, super great read, that was not only sexy, but full of emotion. Now I have to say that at one point I was very disappointed in Charlotte but she redeemed herself in the very next paragraph so all was good and right in the world again :)
 
I fell hard for both main characters...as it should be in a well written story. Emotion, drama, lust, drama, conflict, lust, fight, make-up, love, passion. It was all there and then some. Ms Lace has done it yet again with this winning book. I can't wait to see what she has coming next :)
