The Bachelor
Marie Ferrarella

Event planner Jenny Hall didn't have time for men. Between organizing a bachelor auction and caring for her son, she barely had time for herself! So she was stunned when her friends pooled together the money at the auction to buy her a date with Eric Logan, billionaire playboy–and Jenny's secret crush since childhood.Even more surprising was Eric's interest in her!Eric was shocked to see how the shy girl he remembered had become a stunning and confident woman. When their dream date turned into a quiet night at home, he couldn't shake his growing attraction to her. And as Eric got to know Jenny, he found himself longing to make her his–forever.

“Why don’t we grab a cup of coffee and discuss what, exactly, you want me to do?”

Eric’s proposition caught Jenny off guard. Oh, if only you knew, she thought. She brought her attention back to the situation at hand.

This was a bad idea. But it wasn’t about her. This was about a bachelor auction for charity and she had to think less like an adolescent with her first crush and more like a mature adult.

A woman who turned to mush while looking into the warm, chocolate-brown eyes she could easily get lost in.

Exercising tremendous self-control, Jenny forced herself to remember what she had to do later that day. “Sounds good to me,” she said, slowly peeling the words off the roof of her mouth one by one.

Jenny looked away from Eric’s smiling face. She had to. There was no other way she could possibly regain the use of her legs.
