The Playboy (Spade Hotel, #1)

by Marni Mann

For my ladies who love heroes who … Crave you. Need you. Devour you. Worship you. And would do absolutely anything to have you … Macon is for you.

“Then, there are women who will come into your line of vision, and the moment you see them, they’ll blow your fucking mind. You’ll do anything to be near them. Talk to them. Hear their voice.” He closed his eyes and shook his head. “Smell their skin.” When he opened his eyelids again, he added, “Those are the women who will completely change your life.”

“All right, we’ll see about that. But when a woman has the power to make your grumpy ass smile—and I’m talking really smile, where it starts in your stomach and goes up your chest and you feel it deep in your bones—you’ll know she’s the one.”

He smiled in a way I hadn’t seen before. “Just you wait ...
