Pint of Contention

Theyve both got good reasons to fight falling in love, but they cant resist the overpowering attraction pulling them together…

MAGGIE

Wicked Witch. Ballbuster. The Terminator. Those are just a few of the nicknames Ive earned in my professional life. As the executive consultant Kings Creamery has brought in to save them from financial ruin, I have to decide which employees get the ax. I cant afford to make friends or get chummy with my new neighbors.

Try telling that to the enormous, hunky fireman next door whos annoyingly determined to make friends with me. Its not enough that the guy saves kittens from trees, tosses tree trunks around while wearing a kilt, and has a body that makes Thor look puny. He also works out shirtless in full view of my kitchen window. I might be secretly obsessed.

When a newspaper exposé turns the whole town against me, my hot fireman neighbor steps up to act as my protector, and my secret obsession threatens to turn into a case of serious feelings. But I cant allow that to happen when Im only here temporarily. Ive got to keep my walls up to protect the heart everyone thinks I dont have.

RYAN

My new neighbor might act like she wants nothing to do with me, but Ive seen her watching me from her window. I can tell she likes what she sees, and I love pushing her buttons—a little too much. Ive got no restraint when it comes to this woman.

Now Im screwed because I cant get her out of my head. The more time I spend with Maggie, the more I suspect she might be the soul mate Ive been waiting for all my life.

Of course Id find her now when I cant risk letting her get too close. If she does, she might discover the secret Ive been keeping from everyone.

Soul mate or not, Ive got to let her go. Even if it kills me.
