The Summer Proposal
The best way to get over a breakup is to get under someone... So, starting with a blind date is a good choice, while an arrangement with an expiration date? Not so much.
1. THE SUMMER PROPOSAL by Vi Keeland
SYNOPSIS
The first time I met Max Yearwood was on a blind date. Max was insanely gorgeous, funny, and our chemistry was off the charts. He also had the biggest dimples Iβd ever laid eyes on. Exactly what I needed after my breakup. Or so I thoughtβ¦ Until my real date arrived.
Turned out, Max wasnβt who I was there to meet. He only pretended to be until my real date showed up. To say I was disappointed would be an understatement. Before he left, he slipped me a ticket to a hockey game a few blocks away, in case things didnβt work out on my actual date. I tossed the ticket into my purse and went about trying to enjoy the man I was supposed to meet. But my real blind date and I had no connection. So on my way home, I decided to take a chance and stop by the game.
When I arrived, the seat next to me was empty. Disappointed again, I decided to leave at the end of the period. Just before the buzzer, one of the teams scored, and the entire arena went crazy. A playerβs face flashed up on the Jumbotron. He was wearing a helmet, but I froze when he smiled. You guessed it: Dimples.
Apparently, my fake blind date hadnβt invited me to watch hockey with him, heβd invited me to watch him play. And so began my adventure with Max Yearwood.
He was everything I needed at the timeβfun, sexy, up for anything, and only around for a few months since heβd signed with a new team three-thousand miles away. Max proposed we spend the summer helping me forget my ex. It sounded like a good plan. Things couldnβt get too serious when we had an expiration date. Right? Though, you know what they say about the best-laid plans.
