Do Your Worst

She tried to warn him.

When Lark Reynolds agreed to go on a real date with her no-strings-attached hookup, she knew it had disaster written all over it-but even she didn't expect him to drop the l-word the very first night. It didn't matter that he was annoyingly hot and frustratingly perceptive, or that her body came to life in his arms. She was too busy launching a business to deal with his absurd feelings, and she had learned the hard way the only person she could trust with her heart was herself.

So she cut him off. For good.

But Mark Aladyne is not a man easily deterred. When their businesses end up sharing a barn at the annual Thoroughbred horse sale six months later, he's convinced it's his final chance to prove to Lark he can be what she doesn't know she needs. So he concocts a last-ditch plan to win her heart: a game of relationship chicken. He gets two weeks of Lark as his girlfriend to show her how good love can be. All he has to do is not sleep with her before she admits she loves him.

Should be easy, right?

If only he hadn't told her to do her worst.
