Random Acts Of Crazy (32 page)

“Did you tell her that?”

“No, the police chief did.” Joe looked simultaneously proud and sickly green. It was a good start.

Both men leaned in and held me. I thought about my life, about how so many things could change with one turn of the wheel, with one missed observation and how I had lived my life following what Mama needed, what money dictated but most of all, how my own mind had caged my body, forcing it to live in a world that wasn’t what I wanted.

Josie’s offer was on the table – a job, a place to live. It sounded like I had two places to live now. I wasn’t sure I was ready for that – jumping into a domestic life with two guys I’d just met two days ago. Did I take the leap and tell them what Josie had just offered? Did I trust them enough to say that I’d been offered the biggest chance of my life to follow my own path? If I opened my mouth and said the words I couldn’t take it back, I couldn’t unwind it, I’d have to acknowledge the reality of it and live with the consequences if I didn’t do what my heart told me.

Trevor’s eyes were the color of the clear sky and Joe’s were warm, inviting me to jump into an abyss without knowing how or when I’d ever find myself not in freefall. I looked at them both.

“You know what boys? It’s time for me to commit my random act of crazy.”

THE END

“Hot, luscious piece of ass who can suck a golf ball through forty feet of garden hose seeks rippling-ab’d firefighter who has a tongue that thrums like a hummingbird and enjoys painting my toenails and eating Ben & Jerry’s out of the carton while watching Mad Men.”

Laura Michaels stared at the online dating site’s registration screen and frowned. That’s what she really wanted to write. Here was the truth:

“Needy, insecure, overweight twenty-six year old Business Analyst with three cats, a corporate job with pension and no debt seeks Mr. Impossible for way more than friendship and lots of ice cream. I’m desperate for some physical affection and oral sex with a guy who doesn’t view it as some sort of favor he’s granting me, and then expects to be praised like he cleaned my toilet. One night stands are better than nothing as long as you brush your teeth. So call me, maybe!”

So when hot firefighter Dylan Stanwyck responds and asks her out, it’s just too good to be true. When she searches him online and learns he offers himself up for date nights in bachelor charity auctions, she wonders if she’s on the right planet.

Because what could a guy like that see in a fat girl like her?

OR WOULD HE NOT BE WHO HE SEEMED?

Trawling through the online dating profiles isn’t Dylan’s idea of fun, but it’s been more than eighteen months since their lover, Jill, died, and Dylan and his unconventional partner, ski instructor Mike Pine, need to find a new love. While their threesome situation is more complicated than a contract from
Fifty Shades of Grey
, at least one aspect is simple: Laura Michaels, the cute, soft blond from the online dating site, seems like a good fit for at least a first date. Soft curves, gorgeous hair, eyes that light him up from the computer alone, and a profile that makes her seem smart and interesting – he has no problems asking her out.

The problem is letting her in.

Dylan and his not-quite partner have more secrets than their unconventional romantic relationships, and this latest snafu is a mixed blessing, for both became billionaires overnight after the third in their threesome, Jill, died. With her estate finally settled and Dylan and Mike the recipient of an annual income that gives them enough to buy entire towns in the Midwest, the two were left reeling. Months after the lawyer explained their new-found fortune, Dylan still works his regular shifts at the station while Mike remains on the slopes as a ski instructor, but with a caveat; now he owns the entire resort.

But if they tell Laura everything, they risk losing a chance at a new bond.

Two problems may have one lush, ample solution as Laura meets
her first billionaire
on her date with Dylan, but with a stunning twist at the end…
