Vince Mason is sure the perfect
woman doesn't exist. When he meets elusive Cate Reynolds and
finds she's nearly as close to perfect as he can imagine, he
doesn't want her to slip away.
Cate is attracted to Vince, but she sees one major
problem--he's almost ten years younger, an age span she refuses
to live with.
It's going to take one carefully crafted plan, a few
well-meaning relatives, and maybe even a shot from Cupid's
arrow before Vince is through convincing Cate.
(m/f, contemporary erotic
romance)

Excerpt:
She
didn't want to face him at all, but he hadn't poured the drinks
down her throat. She was a big girl and could own up to her
mistakes. Cate thought she might look for another restaurant to
entertain business clients after she'd paid the tab. Getting
sloppy drunk and having to be taken home was not the wisest
career move.
When the
doorbell rang, she took a deep breath and exhaled before opening it. Her
usual waiter from the restaurant stood on the landing, smiling at her.
"You!" She was surprised.
Now he
appeared surprised as well, and nodded. "I'm Vince."
Vince!
That's why the name sounded familiar. He was the kid who almost always
waited on her table. God, he looked about twelve. Cate felt about
seventy. "I'm sorry, of course you are. I'm just having trouble
remembering last night."
He smiled.
"Guess it'll be interesting to see how big your tab is."
"Oh yeah." She
rolled her eyes, grabbing a jacket and her purse. After pulling out her
keys, Cate locked the door behind them and followed him to his car.
"Sorry." He
opened the paint-peeled door of the old car for her. "It runs well."
She grinned
and slid into the seat. "That's all that matters, isn't it?"
He went around
to the driver's side and got in. "Not to a lot of people. But to me,
yeah. I'm saving my money for more important things."
"Good for
you." She nodded in agreement and fastened her seatbelt as he headed to
the restaurant. "I really want to thank you again for last night. That's
not something I usually do.." she trailed off, unsure if she should
continue.
"I'm glad." He
glanced sideways at her. "I'd hate to see you fall into the wrong
hands."
She chuckled
and watched him clench his hands around the steering wheel. They
were large and strong looking, with long, slender fingers. A jolt ran
through her and Cate realised she found his hands arousing. What an
absurd thought! He was just a kid. "I guess you could say I had a
bad night. I argued with my mother about having to work and missing my
niece's birthday party. Then my clients, who I was informed were so
important they couldn't be put off, never showed up. It all just hit me,
I suppose. I'm sorry I acted like such an idiot."
Vince smiled
over at her. "You didn't. I was worried about you, is all." He parked in
front of the restaurant and they both got out.
"There's my
car," she nodded to a newer-model sedan a few vehicles down. "I'll just
go in and take care of my bill."
"Okay." He
stood in front of her, looking as if he wanted to say something.
She felt
awkward, so she leaned in quickly and kissed his cheek. "Thanks again."
She pulled back.
They stared at
each other. Cate resisted the urge to press her lips against his and
kiss him properly. She didn't know what it was about this guy, but
standing next to him had her stomach doing flip-flops that weren't
drinking-related. He was just a kid..wasn't he?
