Part of Fool's Gold, book 14
First published 2014
Sam Ridge thought he'd found an easy hookup when he met the brunette at a Fool's Gold bar. The former professional football kicker has terrible luck with women who either cheat on him or chase his fame. But when Dellina Hopkins takes him home, Sam discovers a room filled with wedding gowns and flees, convinced she's another woman plotting to trap him into marriage. Dellina never expected her one attempt at a fling to end so badly. She stored the dresses as a favor for her friend's bridal shop, but Sam didn't stick around for explanations. After her parents died, Dellina sacrificed her youth to raise her younger sisters. She wanted just one night with Sam, not a lifetime commitment. When Sam's company hires Dellina to plan their corporate event, the two must work together despite their awkward history. Long planning sessions turn into late nights, and attraction pulls them back together. Sam wonders if his romantic luck has finally turned, while Dellina faces her own fears about letting someone close.
