Playing Dirty

Elena Ramos has chased the Rosenthal Gallery spotlight competition for five years running, so when her acceptance email finally lands, shes convinced nothing could dim her excitement.

Not even when she collides with the disgustingly handsome Declan Hawkins at a coffee shop on Day One.

Literally. She runs face-first into that sucker and loses her iced-coffee to the depths of his boxer shorts.

Hes charming. Hes flirty. Hes weirdly unbothered by his caffeinated crotch. And hes very clear about wanting to see her again.

Could this really be love at first sight?

Oh, wait. Nope. False alarm.

Because outside the coffee shop, Declan is better known as Security Satan, and hes the gallerys resident rule-enforcer, joy-destroyer, and the man most likely to escort her out of the building by the elbow.

Hes determined to send her packing.

Shes determined to win the whole competition and ruin his day.

Screw that guy and his devilish grin.

Game on.
