Title: My Perfect Girl
Author: Meghana Sarathy
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: August 18, 2020
My Perfect Girl,

 

 
I need you by my side, now more than ever. I’m growing weak with every passing day, and my control is slipping. If I were as stubborn as before, no matter how badly I wanted to, I wouldn’t allow you to come to me as a reprieve I desperately sought. I would be content with just hearing stories of your success and watching you on TV. Remember what I had told you the first time we met? I would give you flight and watch you soar high. I would never become the wings that would one fine day become the dead weights to bring you down. I did live up to my words.
 
You’ve always wished to hear these words from me but I never gave them to you, afraid that you would never leave me. It’s time you learn the truth about my feelings. We’ve known each other for twenty years now but have spent more time apart than together. Staying away from you, meeting time and again only to walk away on different paths? It hurt more than I could ever put in words. My feelings for you can’t be encompassed in the mere four letter word. It transcends time and space. I could never let my feelings for you die, so I chose to set you free to build your life without me in it. Though I couldn’t always be with you, I’m glad that I was there to save you when you needed me the most. Despite us not being together, remember that our lives will always be intertwined, bonded by our unique love. You’ll forever be my perfect girl.
 
I think it’s time for us to meet again. Yet, I’m hesitating to send you this letter. It’ll just cause you more heartbreak, when all I want is to see you happy. 
 
For the first and last time, I’ll leave this decision to fate. Even without this letter, I know you’ll come for me.
 
Yours truly,
Ayden
 
My Perfect Girl is a standalone contemporary romance. It’s an emotional and angst filled story of two star crossed lovers. It also deals with heavy subject matters and sexual content. Recommended for readers who are 18+.

“I owe you an explanation,” he started and the bird of hope started flapping its wings rapidly. “And yet, testing your responses is fun. So, maybe I’ll make you wait a little more for it.” I wasn’t particularly pleased hearing that. I was enticing enough for him to put me through his ‘tests,’ but I was unsure of whether my heart could take it. And yet, I met his challenge head-on. 

“What do these tests entail?” I asked unsurely. Without saying another word, he took a step closer. In such proximity, his magnificent aura diminished my presence. Despite being just an inch away, he felt out of my grasp. He was at a level that would probably take me years to reach. He would have surely left by then. Why would he wait?

“Pursuit of answers is what spoils the fun,” he whispered. “The secret of enjoying life is simple. Don’t go searching for answers, the kind of choice you make when reacting to situations forges into answers. It’s not right or wrong. They are simply yours and that’s more than enough. Get it?” This is what I meant. He was on another plane altogether. But even as I wrapped my head around his words, my thoughts aligning with his thinking, I caught a glimpse of a bridge that would take me to his plane or horizon. The excited and love-struck part of me was all ready to jump on that bridge unsure of what it was even made of. Even if it turned out to be a hanging bridge, I wouldn’t hesitate. But the logical part of me won out and I just stood gazing up at him, realizing that the wait to crossover would be a very long one indeed.

EGOTISTICAL JERK
BY A.K. MACBRIDE
I had one goal: To learn from Sebastian Ryker.

He was an award-winning physician in his field of medicine.

A genius who could diagnose you with the barest of symptoms.

The best of the best.

Too bad he turned out to be an egotistical jerk.

Mere hours into my first day, I realized that the man I had idolized for years
didn’t live up to the hype.

He was rude, arrogant, and totally full of… himself.

It was clear that my presence bothered him, that I was nothing more than an
irritation.

So, why did I want to melt into a puddle whenever those dark eyes were trained
on me?

And why didn’t I listen when my head warned my heart that he’d break it in two?

I had one goal: To learn from Sebastian Ryker, not fall in love with him.

still sizzling and palpable. He still makes her heart sing, but she isn’t sure

BRITISH BLACK SHEEP
BY LAUREN SMITH
He is
exactly the kind of man Brie Honeyweather swore never to love…or lust after
ever again: a sexy, arrogant, British bad boy in a designer suit. Alec is the
last person Brie wants to be stuck on an international flight to London with,
but hey…at least they’re in first class.When their flight has to make an emergency landing in a snowstorm just before
Christmas, Brie and Alec are thrown together in a single bedroom in a tiny
English village. As the snowstorm rages outside, things get intense and
emotions and lust run hot. Alec reminds Brie just how much she misses being
with a man and how easy it is to fall head over heels too fast.

What should have been an amazing one-night stand turns into a week-long secret
romance at Alec’s family estate when Brie realizes her new boss is Alec’s
mother, a British countess. While Brie tries to focus on writing a Christmas
book with the countess, all she can think about is getting back into bed with
Alec.

She shouldn’t fall for the arrogant brit, especially when their lives are
oceans apart and neither of them wants a serious relationship. But Christmas
magic has a way of working miracles. Maybe Santa will bring her a happy ending
after all…

AUDACIOUS FIANCÉ
BY LIZ LOVELOCK
Years
ago, he broke me.
Now he’s
back with a proposition.
He needs
a fake fiancée, and I’m the one he’s come to.
Audacious—
that’s how I would describe him. He was my first love, my first kiss, and my
first heartbreak, from which I never truly healed.
Kane was
once the man of my dreams, on paper—strong, handsome, and a complete charmer.
But the problem is, he has never given a damn about anyone but himself.
I’ve never
witnessed a desperate man until Kane knocked on my door with literally the
proposal of a lifetime.
I must
admit, it’s ironic he’s come to me given the way things ended between us.
It’s
possibly the worst idea ever, but I need the money. How do I not fall for Kane
all over again and risk history repeating itself? Only time will tell.

Title: A Date to Play Fore

Series: Dating #6

Authors: Heidi McLaughlin & LP Dover
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: August 11, 2020

 

Blurb
Tee up for the long drive, it’s golf
season!
After winning the
U.S. Open, Greyson Jennings couldn’t help but take playful jabs at the expense
of his prime competition, Bryan Nelson. His snarky claims during the press
junction may have burned off like fog on the green, if a week later they hadn’t
found themselves at the same golf resort.  
Hungry for a little
payback, Bryan challenges Greyson to a grudge match: Grey and his best friend
versus Bryan and his sister, Leah. Turns out, Leah is a ringer with a swing—and
curves—that turn Grey’s thoughts to a hole in one of another kind.  
Unfortunately, Leah’s
opinion of him has been formed by the many stories Bryan has shared. That may
hurt this golfer’s handicap, but he’s nowhere near ready to give up. It’s game
on as Leah agrees to meet Grey on the green and go head to head with the hole as
the goal.  
Can Greyson prove
there’s more to him than an impressive club and a carefully crafted bad boy
persona? Or will the sting of Leah’s rejection leave him in need of some alone
time and a good ball washer?

Excerpt

“You have got to be kidding me,” Bryan growls.
Heart racing, my eyes snap open. “What?” I gasp.
He points toward the fairway. “Look who it is.”
There’s only one person it could be to earn such a hated
look from my brother. And of course, when I focus on the guy about to hit his
ball, I recognize his stance. Greyson Jennings has his own style when it comes
to golf. I hate the guy, but he’s one of the best. You can’t help but admire
how talented he is.
Bryan fumes and clenches the steering wheel. “Of all places
he could be, why in the hell is he here?” I’ve been wondering the same thing.
Greyson never answered when I asked him. It wouldn’t surprise me if he did it
on purpose. The only way he could’ve found out would be through my social
media.
Bryan hops out of the cart and reaches for his driver. Eyes
wide, I can feel my heart pounding harder. “Bryan, what are you doing?”
He tees up his ball and smiles. “Just having a little fun,
sis. If I knock him out, he deserves it.”
This is going to be a disaster. I just know it. The sound of
his driver connecting with the ball is so loud it echoes in my ears. I watch it
sail through the air, right in the direction toward Greyson. He doesn’t even
yell fore, and I’m too shocked to even speak. The ball starts to drop
from the sky and when it lands, it’s only about three feet away from Greyson
and his best friend, Eli. He jerks around and throws his arms up in the air.
Bryan bursts out laughing and flips them both off.
Greyson and Eli jump in their cart and head toward us. This
is not what I want. “Just great,” I grumble. “Now look what you did.”
Bryan comes over to me and leans against the cart. “The
fucker deserved it. It’s time he knows I’m back in the game.”
The last thing I want is to get in the middle of a
testosterone match. I don’t care about seeing who has the bigger balls. When
Greyson gets closer, his snarl turns into a smile when he notices me.
Definitely not what I want. Bryan steps forward, driver in hand.
“Sorry about that,” my brother taunts, “I didn’t exactly hit
what I was aiming for.”
Greyson bursts out laughing and steps out of the cart. “You
never do. You obviously don’t know how to handle your shaft.”
Here we go. Groaning, I smack a hand to my forehead.
“Really? This is what I’m going to have to put up with today?”
Greyson smirks at me, his gaze roaming over my bare legs
before settling back on my eyes. “It’s good to see you again, Leah. I didn’t
know you played golf.”
Busted. Bryan’s going to be pissed I didn’t tell him.
His shoulders tense but he doesn’t look at me. Instead, he moves to the front
of the cart to block Greyson from looking at me. “How about we play teams? My
sister and I against you and your caddy.”
The day just got worse. I’m going to kill my brother. Then
again, maybe we can teach Greyson a lesson. 
“Bryan, no,” I snap. “I suck at golf. We’ll lose.”
His eyes meet mine for the briefest of moments. Even though
he can’t read my mind, we have a connection. Bryan stands up straighter and
turns back to Greyson. “No worries, sis. I’ll play good enough for us both.”
“What are we playing for?” Greyson asks, moving to the side
so he can see me. “Money? A date?”
I roll my eyes. “You can forget that.” I hop out of the cart
and join my brother. “How about a thousand dollars?”
Greyson and Eli look at each other and I can see the
outright arrogance on their faces. That’s their downfall. Greyson holds out a
hand to my brother. “Deal. A thousand dollars.”
Bryan shakes his hand, the muscles in both of their forearms
clenching. “Deal,” Bryan agrees.”
Greyson tips his hat at me and smiles. “I’m happy you’ll be
playing with me.”
I grab my driver out of my bag. “I’d rather play with
myself.” He finds it hilarious, but I see it as a jab. The guy is an
insufferable tool.
Since Bryan already drove his ball to hit Greyson, it ends
up being my turn. I tee up my ball and swing. It slices to the right,
completely out of the fairway and into the rough. Greyson and Eli chuckle under
their breath as they drive away while Bryan glares at me.
“Please tell me you did that on purpose?”
My lips pull up into a smile. “Of course, I did. Think about
how much fun it’s going to be when we kick his ass.”
Bryan grins wide. “Let’s show him what we can do.”
Hole after hole, we’re neck and neck with only one stroke
between us. It’s a close match, but I’m holding my own, especially for a female
in a mostly male dominated sport. It all comes down to the eighteenth hole.
It’s a par three with water all around the green. We all managed to get across
the water, and now, it’s time to putt. It’s all down to me. If I can birdie my
putt, my brother and I will win. If I don’t, we’re screwed. I can’t let Bryan
down. He needs this win, and Greyson needs to be taken down a notch.
Taking a deep breath, I look over at the hole and then down
at my ball. It’s about an eight-foot-long putt. I breathe in and out and close
my eyes. Come on, Leah, you can do this. I open my eyes and tap the
ball. It rolls across the green … and right into the hole.
Bryan yells and scoops me up into his arms. “Hell fucking
yeah. You did it!”
He swings me around and I laugh. Greyson and Eli both seem
impressed. Greyson walks over and pulls out a wad of cash from his wallet.
Bryan sets me down and Greyson hands him the money. “Good job. It’s about time
you won at something. I hate it had to be because of your sister.”
Bryan narrows his gaze. “But at least she kicked your ass
cocksucker. You got beat out by a girl. Wait till everyone finds out about
this.”
Greyson shrugs and Bryan walks over to the cart. Before I
can turn, he lightly grabs my arm. “I’m impressed. Guess it’s not a surprise
since your father’s a legend. He taught you well.”
“Yes, he did.”
His eyes search mine. “Go out with me tomorrow. I think we
could have some fun.”
I snort. “I can do that without you.” My smile grows wider.
“Besides, I’ll be busy spending that thousand dollars.”
Greyson chuckles. “You do that. Maybe next time.”
I walk backwards toward the cart. “Not gonna happen.”

#AvailableNow ~ “Lead Player” An Everyday Heroes World Novel, by Author: Alex Grayson, Genre: Contemporary Romance, Release Date: August 13, 2020 ~ @AlexGrayson10 @GiveMeBooksPR

 

Title: Lead Player

An Everyday Heroes World Novel

Author: Alex Grayson
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: August 13, 2020
Blurb
I wasn’t looking for love… more like a
one-night stand.
Hey, a woman has needs. And it couldn’t
possibly end any worse than my last relationship.
If catching my long-term boyfriend
getting plowed by his handsome best friend wasn’t bad enough… the fact that they
were in our bed should be.
So, yeah. I’m good with one wild night
with a complete stranger.
I just didn’t expect him to be so damn
hot! I couldn’t tear my eyes away—even when he caught me staring. It was as if
an invisible force held me captive in his lust-filled gaze.
We agreed, just one night. But the next
morning I woke up in an empty bed feeling more alone than I expected.
Little did I know I would see my mystery
man again. But the next time we would be standing beside our best friends as they
said, “I Do.”
Not only was my one-night stand the best
man… it turns out he’s the cocky lead singer of popular band Phenix.
No wonder he rocked my world, he’s had plenty of
practice.
Alex
Grayson’s Lead Player is a spicy, one-night stand, contemporary
romance written in K. Bromberg’s Everyday Heroes Worlds project.

Excerpt
“What’s your name?” My voice rumbles quietly.
Her brows shoot together and her eyes dart away. Her look is
a dead giveaway that she’s quickly coming up with a fake name.
“Eve.”
My lips quirk up. She chose wisely. The name suits her.
Innocent, but naughty.
“I’ll make it worth it, Eve.”
“Mighty sure of yourself, aren’t you…?” she asks, leaving
the sentence open.
“Taylor,” I supply, taking a number out of her book and
giving her my own fake name. “And I’ve never had any complaints before.”
She puts her hand on my chest and toys with the top button,
like she’s contemplating undoing it.
“Maybe I’ll be the first.” She smirks.
I dip closer, feeling the heat from her lips on mine. It
drives me wild. “Doubtful.”
“So, what exactly are we talking about here?”
“You tell me.” I grab a loose piece of her hair and trail
the end over her neck. Her eyelids lower. “What do you want?”
She leans her head back against the wall. “One night only.”
Disappointment hits, which is confusing as hell. I never
want more than a single night. I’m usually itching to leave before the night’s
even over. Something tells me it’ll be different with this woman.
“One night only. No strings. Anything goes,” I suggest.
She mulls it over before she dips her chin. “Deal.”
“Not good enough. This needs to be sealed with more than
words.”
Before she can say anything more, I lower my head. The
instant my lips touch hers, I know this is going to be a long and enjoyable
night. I’ll make damn sure it is.
Her mouth opens immediately to meet my probing tongue. She
tastes delicious. Like some kind of exotic fruit.
Laying my forearm flat on the wall, I press my chest into
hers. Her small moan and the bite of her nails digging into my pecs goes
straight to my dick. When she tilts her hips up and pushes her mound against
me, I have to fight back the urge to yank her skirt up, tear away her panties,
and shove inside her.
Sweet mercy, I’ve barely touched the woman and she’s already
driving me mad.

One simple
text message can change everything. I found that out the hard way. One minute
I’m complaining about a horrible picture of a guy’s you-know-what, and the
next, I’m having conversations with a stranger. A gorgeous, rebel of a man who
makes my heart skip a beat and does a number on my panties.
The only
problem is we’re not looking for the same things in life. I want stability and
a family, while he always has his eye out for the next good time.

She may
literally be the most beautiful woman I’ve ever met. Funny, it all started with
an accidental text message. About unwanted male member photos, actually, and
from that moment, I was hooked. She’s the perfect woman really, except for one
tiny little flaw. She’s looking for the one thing that makes me want to run for
the door. Forever.
Yet,
somehow, I can’t seem to let her go. She might be the one dare I actually fail.

“Got a name, my princess?”
When Joelle Fielding attends a function for Chicago’s society elites, she’s stunned to find herself swept off her feet by a man who believes that not only is she a princess, but that she’s HIS princess. Falling in love at first sight isn’t a part of her career-oriented life goals, but with the sexy Gus Bloch insisting she’s meant for him, those life goals might be changing.
By fourteen, Gus had been on his own on the Southside’s mean streets. When life had been at its bleakest, he’d dreamed of his future and the kind of woman he would someday share his life with. One look at Joelle, and he knows he’s finally found her. Nothing will stop him from convincing her that he’s the man for her—not even Joelle herself.
Joelle has never wanted anyone like she wants Gus, but all too soon insta-love and the demands of reality find themselves on a collision course. Is Gus really the man for her when he’s forced to see she’s no one’s princess?

A slow smile curled his mouth, and to Joelle’s surprise she found she couldn’t look away from the two perfect dimples that appeared in his lean, clean-shaven cheeks. Had there ever been a more perfectly symmetrical face, with sculpted cheekbones, squared-off jaw and, heaven above, dimples? The more she saw of him, the more she realized that perfection could exist. “The moment I saw you, everything about you became my business.”

“Oh, really?” Wildly her heart bounced around in her chest like one of those bouncy balls she’d loved as a child. “How do you figure that?”

“It’s pretty simple.” He shifted a shoulder, like freaking Atlas shrugging. “I saw you standing there, and something inside me clicked into place. I’m not fighting that, and neither should you. It won’t do you any good.”

“My goodness.” It took all her strength not to pearl-clutch, but damn, it was hard. This man came on like a freight train, and for a wayward moment she could only wonder what he was like in bed… “I think there’s a song like that.”

“I guess this could be called an enchanted evening, now that I think about it. It’s not every day you meet the one that stops you in your tracks and makes you think of things like forever.”

Okay, pearl-clutching was a necessity when a man said things like that. “Anyone ever tell you that you have a tendency to overwhelm?”

“Not my fault. I’ve lost one helluva lot of time with you, so I need to catch up.”

“Catch up? We just met.”

“Yeah, but I’ve been looking for you my whole damn life. Got a shit-ton of catching up to do.”
A competitive figure skater from the age of eight, Stacy Gail began writing stories in between events to pass the time. By fourteen, she told her parents she was either going to be a figure skating coach who was also a published romance author, or a romance author who was also a figure skating pro. Now, with a day job of playing on the ice with her students, and writing everything from steampunk to cyberpunk, contemporary to paranormal at night, both dreams have come true.

#NewRelease ~ “A Date to Play Fore” Series: The Dating Series, by Authors: Heidi McLaughlin & LP Dover, Genre: Contemporary Romance, Release Date: August 11, 2020, is Available Now! ~ @HeidiJoVT and @LPDover @EJBookPromos

Title: A Date to Play Fore

Series: The Dating Series
Authors: Heidi McLaughlin & LP Dover 
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: August 11, 2020

 

New York Times and USA Today bestselling authors Heidi McLaughlin and L.P. Dover come together for a sexy new series that delivers romance for every season!

 

Tee up for the long drive, it’s golf season!
After winning the U.S. Open, Greyson Jennings couldn’t help but take playful jabs at the expense of his prime competition, Bryan Nelson. His snarky claims during the press junction may have burned off like fog on the green, if a week later they hadn’t found themselves at the same golf resort.
Hungry for a little payback, Bryan challenges Greyson to a grudge match: Grey and his best friend versus Bryan and his sister, Leah. Turns out, Leah is a ringer with a swing—and curves—that turn Grey’s thoughts to a hole in one of another kind.
Unfortunately, Leah’s opinion of him has been formed by the many stories Bryan has shared. That may hurt this golfer’s handicap, but he’s nowhere near ready to give up. It’s game on as Leah agrees to meet Grey on the green and go head to head with the hole as the goal.
Can Greyson prove there’s more to him than an impressive club and a carefully crafted bad boy persona? Or will the sting of Leah’s rejection leave him in need of some alone time and a good ball washer?

 

 

“You have got to be kidding me,” Bryan growls.

Heart racing, my eyes snap open. “What?” I gasp.

He points toward the fairway. “Look who it is.”

There’s only one person it could be to earn such a hated look from my brother. And of course, when I focus on the guy about to hit his ball, I recognize his stance. Greyson Jennings has his own style when it comes to golf. I hate the guy, but he’s one of the best. You can’t help but admire how talented he is.

Bryan fumes and clenches the steering wheel. “Of all places he could be, why in the hell is he here?” I’ve been wondering the same thing. Greyson never answered when I asked him. It wouldn’t surprise me if he did it on purpose. The only way he could’ve found out would be through my social media.

Bryan hops out of the cart and reaches for his driver. Eyes wide, I can feel my heart pounding harder. “Bryan, what are you doing?”

He tees up his ball and smiles. “Just having a little fun, sis. If I knock him out, he deserves it.”

This is going to be a disaster. I just know it. The sound of his driver connecting with the ball is so loud it echoes in my ears. I watch it sail through the air, right in the direction toward Greyson. He doesn’t even yell fore, and I’m too shocked to even speak. The ball starts to drop from the sky and when it lands, it’s only about three feet away from Greyson and his best friend, Eli. He jerks around and throws his arms up in the air. Bryan bursts out laughing and flips them both off.

Greyson and Eli jump in their cart and head toward us. This is not what I want. “Just great,” I grumble. “Now look what you did.”

Bryan comes over to me and leans against the cart. “The fucker deserved it. It’s time he knows I’m back in the game.”

The last thing I want is to get in the middle of a testosterone match. I don’t care about seeing who has the bigger balls. When Greyson gets closer, his snarl turns into a smile when he notices me. Definitely not what I want. Bryan steps forward, driver in hand.

“Sorry about that,” my brother taunts, “I didn’t exactly hit what I was aiming for.”

Greyson bursts out laughing and steps out of the cart. “You never do. You obviously don’t know how to handle your shaft.”

Here we go. Groaning, I smack a hand to my forehead. “Really? This is what I’m going to have to put up with today?”

Greyson smirks at me, his gaze roaming over my bare legs before settling back on my eyes. “It’s good to see you again, Leah. I didn’t know you played golf.”

Busted. Bryan’s going to be pissed I didn’t tell him. His shoulders tense but he doesn’t look at me. Instead, he moves to the front of the cart to block Greyson from looking at me. “How about we play teams? My sister and I against you and your caddy.”

The day just got worse. I’m going to kill my brother. Then again, maybe we can teach Greyson a lesson. 

“Bryan, no,” I snap. “I suck at golf. We’ll lose.”

His eyes meet mine for the briefest of moments. Even though he can’t read my mind, we have a connection. Bryan stands up straighter and turns back to Greyson. “No worries, sis. I’ll play good enough for us both.”

“What are we playing for?” Greyson asks, moving to the side so he can see me. “Money? A date?”

I roll my eyes. “You can forget that.” I hop out of the cart and join my brother. “How about a thousand dollars?”

Greyson and Eli look at each other and I can see the outright arrogance on their faces. That’s their downfall. Greyson holds out a hand to my brother. “Deal. A thousand dollars.”

Bryan shakes his hand, the muscles in both of their forearms clenching. “Deal,” Bryan agrees.”

Greyson tips his hat at me and smiles. “I’m happy you’ll be playing with me.”

I grab my driver out of my bag. “I’d rather play with myself.” He finds it hilarious, but I see it as a jab. The guy is an insufferable tool.

Since Bryan already drove his ball to hit Greyson, it ends up being my turn. I tee up my ball and swing. It slices to the right, completely out of the fairway and into the rough. Greyson and Eli chuckle under their breath as they drive away while Bryan glares at me.

“Please tell me you did that on purpose?”

My lips pull up into a smile. “Of course, I did. Think about how much fun it’s going to be when we kick his ass.”

Bryan grins wide. “Let’s show him what we can do.”

Hole after hole, we’re neck and neck with only one stroke between us. It’s a close match, but I’m holding my own, especially for a female in a mostly male dominated sport. It all comes down to the eighteenth hole. It’s a par three with water all around the green. We all managed to get across the water, and now, it’s time to putt. It’s all down to me. If I can birdie my putt, my brother and I will win. If I don’t, we’re screwed. I can’t let Bryan down. He needs this win, and Greyson needs to be taken down a notch.

Taking a deep breath, I look over at the hole and then down at my ball. It’s about an eight-foot-long putt. I breathe in and out and close my eyes. Come on, Leah, you can do this. I open my eyes and tap the ball. It rolls across the green … and right into the hole.

Bryan yells and scoops me up into his arms. “Hell fucking yeah. You did it!”

He swings me around and I laugh. Greyson and Eli both seem impressed. Greyson walks over and pulls out a wad of cash from his wallet. Bryan sets me down and Greyson hands him the money. “Good job. It’s about time you won at something. I hate it had to be because of your sister.”

Bryan narrows his gaze. “But at least she kicked your ass cocksucker. You got beat out by a girl. Wait till everyone finds out about this.”

Greyson shrugs and Bryan walks over to the cart. Before I can turn, he lightly grabs my arm. “I’m impressed. Guess it’s not a surprise since your father’s a legend. He taught you well.”

“Yes, he did.”

His eyes search mine. “Go out with me tomorrow. I think we could have some fun.”

I snort. “I can do that without you.” My smile grows wider. “Besides, I’ll be busy spending that thousand dollars.”

Greyson chuckles. “You do that. Maybe next time.”

I walk backwards toward the cart. “Not gonna happen.”
