Macie — Karen Nichols

Macie Leeds was far too familiar with the arrogance that was male. It seemed ingrained in the culture she'd worked to escape from. So how was it she couldn't seem to run far enough? Or was some female part of her holding out for that special someone strong enough to bear the brunt of her natural temper? Strong enough to provide her with the exotic play she craved? When Reed Carrington walked into her salon, his sun streaked blond hair coated with bubblegum, he managed to turn the heads of every woman working and visiting. But she had listened to counselors as well as too many family members. Her lifestyle choice had brought her nothing but trouble in the past, why would this time be any different. The simple answer: Reed Carrington.
