Open Cover Before Striking: Davis Carmichael doesn't do love. He'd rather strip naked and crawl through a field of broken glass than give anyone that much control over him. The only thing he cares about is his journalism career. That is, until he meets Cristian Baranov, a die-hard Romeo with an uncanny knack for making connections and taming cranky wordsmiths. A man who breaks down Davis's resistance with a sweep of his hand for just one night. Neither expected they'd ever meet again, but fate has other plans...Best Laid Plans: Jefferson's a serious-natured soccer star, and Teddy was born to party till the wheels come off. But they have more fun fighting with each other than they would kissing anyone else. Maybe -- maybe -- they're falling in love. But when everything turns topsy-turvy, is their new alliance strong enough to save the day?
