Playing for Keeps (Hot Jocks, #1)

by Kendall Ryan

Normally—I see something I want—and I go and get it. It’s how I’ve always been. It’s how I’m wired. The one exception to that rule? Elise Parrish.

“Today, tears,” she says, patting my back. “Tomorrow, we plot his murder and take over the world.”

I want to hug her, and kiss her goodnight, or you know, drag her to my bedroom like a caveman and make love to her all night. But instead, I do what’s expected of me and ignore them as they part ways.

I know I’m not ready for this to end. But am I ready for more? That’s the million-dollar question.
