The Kings
A playboy football player. A shy librarian. When old friends reunite, opposites attract in a witty and lighthearted romance about taking chances and falling in love against the odds.
1. LESSONS IN HEARTBREAK by Karla Sorensen
SYNOPSIS
It’s an unwritten rule somewhere: small-town librarians shall not commit spontaneous acts, for fear of mortal embarrassment. I’d certainly just proved it true, though hiring an escort was perfectly logical. How else should I overcome my fear of intimacy without risking heartbreak?
Unfortunately, what came next wasn’t so logical.
Instead of a dating coach, Griffin King showed up. Yes, that Griffin King: my childhood neighbor and now, to my dismay, an obscenely handsome pro football player. He’s not actually an escort, but how was I supposed to know that?
Avoiding him after the mix-up is impossible. The man is everywhere—put in time-out by his agent after a PR snafu. Griffin might be an outrageous flirt determined to torment me until I snap, but he’s also the perfect man to help me.
The lessons aren’t what I thought they’d be. Neither is Griffin. Every time we touch, every time he shows me a different side to myself—and to him—I can’t help but wonder if we’re about to break another rule: the playboy and the good girl aren’t supposed to fall in love.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Karla Sorensen is a romance author, as well as almost exclusively a romance reader, which means some people will never consider her a literary snob. If she could meet one historical figure, it would be Jane Austen.
Karla received my BA in Public Relations and worked in health care marketing before she had her babies. She claims to hate Twitter (that makes me extremely sad). Also, if you want to get on her good side, bring her some wine and Karla will forever love you (a good little nugget for later).
