When they get the gym to themselves for an intense one-on-one, he gives her the workout she's been waiting for.

Come, My Love by Fran Lee
What Fran Jamison and Jack Gerrard have in common could be balanced on the head of a pin. Jack screwed up his chances with the BBW years ago when he allowed his friends to influence his choices.

Fran has never been to any of the reunions, but now a friend needs her, so this time she hasn't been able to shimmy out of it. What she doesn't expect in a million years is to find herself making hot love with Jack Gerrard on the hood of a parked car…in the airport parking ramp! Jack lost her once. But if she thinks she's getting away this time, she's dead wrong. Publisher's Note: This book was previously published elsewhere as First and Ten.
