The Arrogant Tyrant with a Wicked Grin...

Jack Blackledge was sexy, tough, and hard to handle - and Colleen Brady knew she'd have her hands full working as assistant to the difficult columnist! She'd come all the way to Buffalo to escape her overprotective, matchmaking family in Texas, winning the writing job she'd always wanted. But no one had warned her she'd been hired to help a bad-tempered, cynical ex-ball player - an unnervingly virile heartbreaker who found her romantic inexperience a challenge. Jack did his best to discourage Colleen, to drive her away...until he needed her help in a charade to persuade his mother he'd finally fallen for a nice girl. Colleen knew they were playacting, that Jack was only pretending desire, but why did his kisses scorch her lips? She'd always been so proper, waiting for a man she loved to awaken her passion, but Jack's touch left her aflame with need...and desperate to run wild with him. Could she make him believe she loved him for all the right reasons?
