Lessons in Heartbreak

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. 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.
